Book excerpt: A music teacher is found dead hanging from a rope in his class room. The school becomes haunted for several years. A group of friends do not believe in ghosts and they go and try to prove it by investigating graves and people around the town. They find their answer and a little bit more. Bobby and Desi find that there are some similarities to the way they approach someone they have deep feelings for just like the music teacher and that death is not always the end of those feelings. There is an old folklore legend of a severed hand that appeares when children are naughty and they don't do as they are told. An aging grandfather tells the story to his grandchild of his adventures playing dangerously and hunting the Mano Pachona. These are not true stories, so if you hear something outside at night or if you think your house might have a ghost lurking in the dark watching you sleep, it is just a strange coincedence good night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned storyteller Docia Williams gathers a medley of some of the best haunting stories from her four previous books-Spirits of San Antonio and South Texas, Phantoms of the Plains, Ghosts Along the Texas Coast, and When Darkness Falls-then she adds a hundred pages of new ghostly tales from the Piney Woods of East Texas and from North Central Texas, including the Dallas area. Once again Mrs. Williams brings to light tangible evidence and eyewitness testimony in Best Tales of Texas Ghosts to validate an illusive world without dimension, one filled with bizarre and disturbing accounts of unexplained presences. After interviewing hundreds of people with firsthand experiences and personally witnessing eerie manifestations, she has concluded, "There are things happening all around us that can only be labeled as supernatural."

Only moments before, Raine Crockett had picked up the latest issue of the San Antonio Express with plans to scan the news before she got down to the business of her Sandbur Ranch. But the paper had slipped from her hand and scattered across the floor, exposing a grainy black-and-white picture. Now, she was still staring at the miracle in her hands, wondering if it might finally lead her to the truth about her mother's past--and the identity of her father.
