"Where Oklahoma Began" and the Spirits Linger
Stillwater is a place with its boots planted firmly in different worlds--Cross Timbers and Great Plains, cowboys and Natives, Boomers and gunslingers. Less evident, however, Payne County possesses paranormal peculiarities unseen by the average visitor. Ghostly soldiers persist at the first Civil War battlefield in the state, and phantom students mingle in haunted university halls. From the terrors of Ghost Hollow to glamorous remnants of the oil boom, spectral figures can be found "still pioneering" in "America's friendliest college town." Oklahoma folklorist Jeff Provine serves as your guide through the strange, the ethereal, and the whispered-about tales of Payne County.
Raised on his family's Land Run farm north of Enid, Jeff began collecting Oklahoma folklore in 2009 when he started a ghost tour at the University of Oklahoma. He has since added tours for downtown Norman and in Oklahoma City. His other works include the This Day in Alternate History blog, The Academy webcomic, illustrated urban legends collection 31 Ghost Stories, and Okie Comics Magazine. Jeff serves as professor of English at Oklahoma City Community College and lectures on creative writing and the history of comic books around the metro. He also serves as executive director of the Oklahoma Comic Arts Foundation.
