About this ebook

Get to know the true spirit of Dallas with this guide to haunted houses, hotels, museums and more—includes photos!
 
Tales of the strange and supernatural echo through the streets and halls of the Big D. At the Renaissance-inspired Majestic Theater, it is rumored that the curtains are lowered by ghostly hands, and it is said that there is a sadness that lingers at the Sixth Floor Museum—in the room where Oswald aimed at JFK.
 
Travel downtown to the grand Adolphus Hotel, where guests from the turn of the century still dance to the strains of a phantom waltz, but beware of the stretch of road along White Rock Lake where a mysterious force kills the engines of unwary motorists. Local author and ghost enthusiast Rita Cook journeys into the darkest corners of the Texas heartland with this chilling collection of stories.
