Old Enough to Save the Planet by Loll Kirby

Tales from Paranormal Ports and Eerie Estuaries

Five adjacent Texas counties--Jefferson, Orange, Liberty, Hardin and Chambers--share more than borders and proximity to the Gulf. Their local lore tells of haunted hotels, schools, parks and more. Haunted Hotel Beaumont, the John Jay French Museum, the Julie Rogers Theatre and the Tyrrell Historical Library all dot Beaumont's landscape. Port Arthur's haunts included the Sabine Hotel, the Model Prison, the Island of the Dead and the Sabine Pass Lighthouse. The Ott Hotel, the Chambers Plantation Mansion in Anahuac and the historic town of Wallisville possess paranormal activity. Near Lumberton, spirits haunt the Old Kountze Jail and Village Creek State Park. Cemeteries throughout the area house restless souls, including Magnolia Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, as well as Port Neches' Abandoned Cemetery and Silsbee's Knupple Cemetery. Join author Rita Cook on a ghost hunt in the land of oil and sea.
