Great Book!!!,
By Justcuzzz "justcuzzz" (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghosts of North Texas (Paperback)
Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. The author's thorough investigation and honest storytelling make this a great read. It not only appealed to the ghost lover in me, but it also told the history of certain places. For example, I have lived in Dallas for many years, but never knew the history of Preston Rd., a route I take often. Now, when driving a particular stretch, I find myself looking for early settlers walking alongside the road. I have also had a good time debunking urban myths as told by my friends, since this book explains the history of such legends so well. For example the screaming bridge is a fabulously told tale. I would certainly recommend this book for any Texan looking for a good place to see ghosts, as well, as any one (no matter where you live) looking for a good ghost story!

An enjoyable scary treat for all North Texans,
This review is from: Ghosts of North Texas (Paperback)
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.

The Perfect Field Guide,

This review is from: Ghosts of North Texas (Paperback)
This book was one of our first sources when Paranormal Research and Investigations of North Texas was created. Six years later, we've investigated several of the locations in this book, including an overnight gig at Six Flags. Mitchel Whitington has done a great job researching these locations and I would recommend it to anyone.
