Oklahoma Ghosts & Outlaws: Spooky Tales from the Sooner State

Oklahoma grows ghost stories the way the bottomland grows cottonwood trees — fast, thick, and everywhere you look. Drive any back road in this state long enough and you'll pass a cave somebody hid in, a hotel somebody died in, a crossroads where somebody saw something that wasn't there when they looked twice. Ask about any of them at the nearest filling station and you'll get a story. Ask at the next filling station and you'll get a better one.

This book is full of those stories. Twenty-three of them, to be exact, plus this one — which isn't a story at all, but a front porch. Sit a spell. Pour the coffee.
