Haunted Texas by Scott Williams

Haunted Texas by Scott Williams

Reading line: Tales of ghostly goings-on and spooky sightings in the Lone Star State From its dusty, windswept Panhandle to the long, sandy shores along the Gulf of Mexico, Texas is best known for miles-wide cattle ranches, fields of oil derricks, vibrant country-and-western music, and hard-to-beat Tex-Mex. It's also a big state full of tall tales, legendary figures, historic battles, and plenty of places where you can learn about--or even relive--some of its long, colorful history. In fact, some Texans are convinced that many of its long-lost residents are not so much lost in history as trapped in an eternal present, destined forever to haunt the state's cemeteries, back roads, battlegrounds, and even hotels and restaurants. One old bridge outside of Denton is said to be haunted by the ghost of a man who was lynched one night by a mob, though the noose turned up empty and his body was never found. The staff of a former Carnegie library in downtown Houston sometimes report hearing a violin playing in the building--apparently the resident custodian who died there in 1936 still enjoys performing from time to time. In August 1951, Lubbock became known for the one of the most famous UFO sightings in U.S. history. And more than one back road in rural Texas is the place to visit at night for those who want to see mysterious floating lights.
