Ghostly bare footprints in the snow—that walked through a barbed wire fence.

Ghosts Along the Texas Coast, Docia Williams, 1994, photos, index, 220 pp. $16.95

Old ghosts, new ghosts, history, and legends too good not to repeat all come together where the land meets the sea on the Texas coast. Pirate ghosts still guarding their buried treasure in the swamps and low coastal lands. "Miss Betty" who zealously looks after Ashton Villa in Galveston and plays the piano in the parlor. The ghost car of Sheriff "Beaver" Bishop who still roams the backroads searching for bootleggers. The ghosts of Navy pilots who never returned to the deck of the USS Lexington.

Bert Wall, a fifth-generation Texan, has been collecting these ghostly stories from the Texas Hill Country since the early 1960s. A prospector’s dream of gold that left a bloody sheet behind. A child’s handprint mysteriously imprinted on a moving car. Prophetic dreams and dead loved ones returns.

Item #383

Spirits of the Alamo, A History of the Mission and Guide to Paranormal Activity, Robert Wlodarski and Anne Powell Wlodarski, 1999, biblio, 216 pp $16.95

This book struck a nerve, for when I visited the Alamo, I was so overwhelmed by fear and sadness in the Chapel that I had to rush right out of the building. It took some moments in the sun, watching the goldfish drifting in the little streams, to shake off the horror. The Alamo, where 2,000 men died, is a hotbed of ghostly activity. The authors have done a terrific job of tracking down witnesses, quoting guards, visitors and rangers who have relived the dying, like the gift-shop employees who heard a woman sobbing inside the basement walls for several days in 1994. Or the visitors who have seen a little boy peering out of the window above the gift shop. Or the ranger who watched a defender shot and stabbed by Mexican soldiers, all of whom then vanished. The Wlodarskis have a low-key, non-sensational tone to their writing and this makes the terror all the more apparent.

Item #384

Phantoms of the Plains, Tales of West Texas Ghosts, Docia Schultz Williams, photos and line art, index, biblio., 1995, 272 pp., $16.95

The ghost of Ollabelle, who left her lip prints on a half-filled snifter of brandy. Ghostly scents of bacon and coffee at Ft. Clark. Norton, a ghostly outlaw, who showed up in a Christmas party photo at the Texas Grill. The old cowboy ghost of the Turkey Hotel. Chapters on ghostly cavalrymen, haunted hotels, spooky schools, and much more!

Item #385

Spirits of San Antonio and South Texas, Docia Schultz Williams and Reneta Byrne, 1993, photos, sources, index, 200 pp. $16.95

Divided into categories such as public buildings, haunted houses, inns, and military facilities. The Church Dinner Theatre, haunted by a stage-struck lady in white who allowed herself to be photographed. A young girl haunted by the ghost of her biological father--when she hadn't known she was adopted. A ghostly rooster at Ft. Sam Houston.

Item #387

Texas Ghost Stories AUDIOTAPE, Doc Moore, Tim Tingle, approx. 60 min., $12.00

Told alternately by Doc Moore (who looks and sounds exactly as someone called "Doc" ought to.) and Tim Tingle, teller of Children of the Tracks, these shivery stories caught me by surprise every single time. A doctor, called to the bedside of a dying ghost-patient. The tragic Chipita Rodriquez, until this year, the last woman legally executed in Texas. And a startling variation of La Llorona. Highly recommended.

Side A: Fiddling on Devil’s Backbone; Chipita Rodriguez of San Patricio; The Lady in Black.
Side B: La Llorona; The Doctor’s Eerie House Call; The Lady of White Rock Lake

Item #554

Texas Ghost Stories II AUDIOTAPE, Doc Moore and Tim Tingle, 1998, Approximately 50 min. $12.00

Another creepy collaboration between Texan storytelling institution Doc Moore and magic-voiced Tim Tingle, teller of Children of the Tracks, these traditional tales all have some twist to delight and surprise. The unfortunate Josiah Wilbarger, rescued by a friend’s vision and his sister’s ghost. Fresh versions of Tailybone and a vanishing hitchhiker story: Prom Queen. Britt Bailey, origin of Texas’ most famous ghost-light. And a deliciously ironic tale of three men who went in search of Death.

Side A: Josiah Wilbarger, Ben and Burl, Tailybone
ide B: Britt Bailey, Death Makes a Call, Prom Queen

Item #388

When Darkness Falls, Tales of San Antonio Ghosts and Hauntings, Docia Schulz Williams, 1997, photos, index, 344 pp $16.95

A hefty helping of haunts from the Texas Ghost Queen. The squeaky-soled footsteps of a suicidal science teacher at JFK High School. A "spoiled little girl ghost" at a Victorian dressmaker’s shop who hides buttons and buckles, then brings them back as soon as replacements have been purchased. Dr. Ross, a gentle man turned murderer, who returns to inspect his beloved home. Williams, bless her, has focused on visitable, public places such as hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, and schools.
