Red River Hauntings VOLUME TWO - True Ghost Stories of Grayson County Texas and Southern Oklahoma …. and Other Strange and Scary TalesCHAPTER ONE Ghosts, Haunted Houses and SeancesCHAPTER TWO Strange ANIMAL STORIESCHAPTER THREE STRANGE AND SCARY TALES The ghost stories and strange tales in this book and the previous volume, are not just fun, scary stories, they are also part of our history. Many of these true ghost stories also contain a great deal of this area’s past. While we are reading and enjoying the interesting tales, we are learning about the past. Who said history has to be boring, right? (This might be a good way to introduce young people to a love of local history; they love scary ghost stories!) Even if you are not sure about the reality of ghosts or just don’t believe in them, it is still an interesting light-hearted read from which one may actually learn something about the area. The same is also true of Volume One in this series of Red River Hauntings. I tried to write a book that I myself would want to read.Ghost stories are not just passed on around camp fires on dark nights, although that IS the ideal venue for them. Most of them can actually be found recorded in the pages of old newspapers, passing on the eye-witness accounts of sightings. It is left to the reader to believe what they will and draw whatever conclusions they wish from the articles and stories, but they certainly DO make for entertaining reading.This book will not only recount ghost stories, and identify places reputed to be haunted, but also a few other odd, strange or scary phenomena will be examined which have been found to occur in Grayson County and the near vicinity over the years. (Ghosts and odd occurrences don’t always stay strictly confined inside county lines. There may be a bit of “paranormal overflow” sometimes! Enjoy the book, but don’t become too frightened! Read more
