Description: "Here are a round dozen tales about the "unexplained" side of Texas. The stories inform, arouse and even move the reader, allowing a view of the state from a different perspective at each turn. As varied as the stories may be, they all share the theme of mystery. The reader will discover ghosts, spirits and apparitions, eerie sounds, strange lights and baffling discoveries, buried treasure, a lost ship and inexplicable events, a monster, a natural miracle and an enigmatic assassination.

The reader will also learn about places in Texas where some of these mysteries can still be experienced first-hand."--BOOK JACKET.
