Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about Texas's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of Crazy Man's Tower or San Antonio's haunted railroad crossing, but perhaps you haven't heard about:

  • the White Sanitarium, an abandoned mental institution in Wichita Falls plagued by ghostly forms and spectral noises;
  • the Lady in Green of the McGloin house, who floats persistently over the lake, spurned from unrequited love; and
  • Lake Worth's monster, a mysterious creature inhabiting the area that looks half-human but acts like a feral animal.

Alan Brown is a professor of English at the University of West Alabama in Livingston who has written extensively about the folklore of Alabama and the rest of the South as well. His interest in southern ghost stories led him to write The Face in the Window and Other Alabama Ghostlore (1996), Shadows and Cypress (2000), Haunted Places in the American South (2002), Stories from the Haunted South (2005), Ghost Hunters of the South (2006), Haunted Georgia (2008), The Haunted South (2014) Mississippi's Haunted Golden Triangle (2016), Eerie Alabama (2019), Legends and Lore of Mississippi (2020), and Legends and Lore of Mississippi (2021).
