Debbie Campbell Fowler: Waco Hauntings, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

WACO HAUNTINGS AND OTHER TALES FROM THE HEART OF TEXAS, written by Waco native Debbie Campbell Fowler, digs into the real history behind the ghost stories of nine Central Texas counties, including Bell, Coryell, Falls, Limestone, McLennan, Navarro, Bosque, Hill, and Ellis. Fowler spent nearly thirty years tracking these stories back to the real people, tragedies, and turning points behind them. That work started with a fascination with the paranormal and a desire to know more about the haunted places in and around her hometown. Each chapter opens with the history of a town, then walks through its haunted locations one by one, from old courthouses and forgotten cemeteries to abandoned schools, and the stories people have shared about what they've experienced there. As a longtime paranormal investigator, Fowler brings firsthand experience to the research alongside newspaper archives, historical markers, and interviews with the people who lived these stories. Readers will find well-known Waco landmarks alongside places history nearly forgot, from a bridge said to carry a lantern that never goes out to a former restaurant, hours away, where three distinct spirits are said to remain, each with a personality of their own. Welcome to the Heart of Texas.
