Haunted Texas (eBook, ePUB)

Ghosts and Strange Phenomena of the Lone Star State

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about Texas's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of Crazy Man's Tower or San Antonio's haunted railroad crossing, but perhaps you haven't heard about:

• the White Sanitarium, an abandoned mental institution in Wichita Falls plagued by ghostly forms and spectral noises;
• the Lady in Green of the McGloin house, who floats persistently over the lake, spurned from unrequited love; and
• Lake Worth's monster, a mysterious creature inhabiting the area that looks half-human but acts like a feral animal.
