The Ghost of Mingo Creek and other Spooky Oklahoma Legends

by Greg Rodgers

Penned by Greg Rodgers, an Oklahoma storyteller and member of the Choctaw Nation, this 104-page book features creepy tales that take place across the Oklahoma landscape. From a ghost that haunts Tulsa County's Mingo Creek to the Kiamichi Country's bigfoot in the southeast region of the state, the stories, though fiction, are based on rich Oklahoma legends. Although written with the middle reader in mind, award-winning author and renowned Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle says the book offers an enjoyable experience for readers of all ages. For teachers, parents and librarians seeking new ways to stimulate student interest in Oklahoma history, geography, and social patterns, these stories will prove to be a valuable tool, Tingle writes in the foreword.
