\"supernatural-cover-3d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Come explore the shadow world of supernatural Texas with William Edward Syers, one of the Southwest\u2019s premier storytellers, whose collection of the Lone Star State\u2019s fifty most intriguing tales consumed two full years of on-the-ground research.<\/p>\n

Come encounter the \u201cThe Headless Horseman,\u201d \u201cThe Phantom on the Mountain,\u201d and \u201cThe Hounds of Orozimbo.\u201d Explore \u201cTerror\u2019s Lake,\u201d the haunted \u201cMcDow Hole,\u201d and \u201cGhosty Branch.\u201d Venture within \u201cThe Gate\u201d or \u201cThe Crypts of Old Waverly\u201d or, for that matter, any of the other chilling tales.<\/p>\n

Supernatural Texas<\/em> was the first statewide exploration of dimensions beyond normal comprehension. Its content ranges from centuries-old legends to the here-and-now. You\u2019ll confront such beings as the doppelganger, the non-dead apparition, thought transference, and almost every form and shade of phantom.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll encounter specters whose motivations vary as widely as those of everyday folk\u2014to save or warn, to disclose, to prove or disprove something long past, to do penance. And, of course, to seek vengeance!<\/p>\n

These last are the things to avoid . . . except, of course, within the covers of this book.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you can shrug them off. Perhaps you can discount all fifty awaiting you here.<\/p>\n

Perhaps. But you won\u2019t forget them.<\/p>\n

\n

This unique and riveting collection of the Lone Star State\u2019s fifty most intriguing and chilling tales consumed two full years of research by the author, who travelled more than 100,000 miles in his pop-up camper van, covering virtually every road in Texas while exploring the shadow world of supernatural Texas.<\/p>\n

To William Edward Syers, the supernatural was an inherent part of Texan heritage. \u201cYou cannot separate culture from deep-seated, unspoken beliefs, \u201c he would declare. \u201cWe are many cultures, each with a particular folklore. The supernatural is part of that.”<\/p>\n
