5 Surprising Facts about Haunted Places in Paranormal Texas
I received a copy of this book for free. This is my honest and thoughtful review.
I have always been fascinated by the paranormal, especially when it comes to true encounters. I’ve watched all the shows – Ghost Adventures, Ghosthunters, Paranormal State, The Haunting Of, and who could forget the unfortunately short-lived The Lowe Files featuring the beautifully magnificent Rob Lowe and sons. I love hearing stories that other people have with something that seems to defy explanation, and in the spirit of the Halloween season, it seemed completely apropos to check out a travel guide about haunted places in North Texas!
This region specific guide focuses on haunted historical sites in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and is arranged alphabetically by city, making it a quick reference if you find yourself in or headed to one of those locations. A short history is provided for each place along with examples of either firsthand accounts or the author’s personal experience about the hauntings said to have occurred. The author also provides the address and other details that will aid in getting you to the right area: “It’s my intention to send readers on a wild ghost chase, not a wild goose chase!” Though the majority of these hot spots are public places, I love that she also makes it a point to mention in her introduction that “[s]imply being a curious person does not exempt you from the law.” As people who want to believe, we are but mere stewards of the paranormal and must act respectfully in our quest for knowledge, so that everyone can enjoy the possibility as well.
An addition made for this edition includes photographs for the majority of the places mentioned, a recommendation from the direct feedback of readers. I did receive both a digital and print copy of the book, and I must say the color photographs contained within the digital version really heighten the creep factor to some of the images. The black and white images in the print copy are still incredibly valuable, so it’s really a personal preference for the reader as to which version you decide to acquire.
As a Central Texas resident, I don’t find myself up in the DFW area often, but the next time we find ourselves in McKinney visiting good friends, I would love to check out the winery and prison. I graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton and wished I had known then about Recycled Books! I’m definitely adding that to my next visit.
Though this may seem like an overly specific and unusually niche guide for fans of ghosthunting, the author is a master at telling an entertaining and spooky tale that whets the palate just enough to get a road trip going. A great adventure awaits for skeptics and believers alike!
