Book Reviews of Ghosts of North Texas
Book Review: An enjoyable scary treat for all North Texans
Summary: 5 Stars
These are some well-written, very interesting tales of ghosts throughout North Texas, focusing on the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, but including some stories from surrounding localities such as Mineral wells, Waxahachie, and Cleburne. Each story includes the address of the alleged haunting, a photo of the locale, and the author ends each story with his opinion as to whether or not there is enough confirmation to think it is believable. Since I was born and raised in Dallas, it was interesting to go through and get the entire story on some tales I had heard around the campfire as as a girl scout. For example, the author talks about the "Lady of White Rock Lake" a contemporary tale of a ghostly hitchhiker seeking a way to return home. It was interesting to compare my childhood memories of this tale with the entire story as laid out by the author. Also, I went to college in Arlington - a small city between Dallas and Fort Worth - and I was surprised to read about how haunted that city is. There's "Screaming Bridge", which talks about the screams of teenagers still haunting the spot where they drove over a burned out Arlington bridge in 1961 and died as a result. This involved an area I passed through many times when I lived there, but I was unaware of its history. This book is a well-written compilation of stories of the paranormal for non-Texans, but for those of us who have lived in Texas or North Texas in particular, it is especially interesting. The author has a very conversational style that conveys that Texans haunt and tell tales of haunting in a way that is as big as the state itself. Highly recommended.
