I can’t say when the last time was that I enjoyed a book this much. Ghosts and Legends of Oklahoma, is filled with a rich and tantalizing history you won’t learn in a classroom. The spine tingling ghost stories leave you wanting to know more. Two thumbs up to Mike Ricksecker.

I picked this book up on a recent trip to Tulsa, OK. I love historical facts, real paranormal information and Old West history. This small book had it all.

2.75 stars. It was an informative read, but what bothered me about this book was the chapter that Mike Ricksecker talked about the Tulsa Theater and the Tulsa Race Massacre. All I can say is that he really needs to update his book, especially that chapter. Maybe other people caught the chapter mistakes. Other than that, the book was fine.
