Don’t leave this plane without it.
This is a great book to take on a trip to add that extra worldly dimension to your vacation. The book divides Texas into six regions. Then the specific location is discussed there are key symbols to let you know about such things as "Ghostly Missions and Churches" or "Most Haunted Location." It includes such subjects as "What is a Ghost?", “Ghost Hunting", and "A Ghost Hunter's Tool Kit."
A place that is eerie enough without being haunted is the Monahans Sandhills, State Park. When you get out of the dunes they seem to go on forever. However, it sounds like the ghosts are more interested in the "Visitors' center building".
"According to legend, the visitors' center of Monahans Sandhills State Park is built on the sight of a nineteenth-center Comanche burial ground. In 1967, two boys digging neat the building unearthed a skeleton, lending credence to the ghost story."
