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 Texass most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of Crazy Mans Tower or San Antonios haunted railroad crossing, but perhaps you havent 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 Worths 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.
