My Korean Mother and I Speak to the Dead My Korean Mother and I Speak to the Dead Ghost stories are a way for Alex Laughlin and her mother to acknowledge the trauma and grief of the Korean diaspora. I met my first ghost when I was eight. We lived on Schofield Barracks at the time, an Army base established in 1908 to defend what was then the United States’ new territory, Hawaii. I was sleeping over with a friend who lived in colonel’s housing, which, unlike our cinder block duplex, was a standalone bungalow with a courtyard in the middle. The house had a servant’s quarters with its own bathroom, which the family used as a playroom. Those old houses were perfect for playing pretend; the architecture of the buildings revealed the handprints of generations past, the spectral servants who had cared for military families like ours.
