Haunted Old West (eBook, ePUB)

Phantom Cowboys, Spirit-Filled Saloons, and Mystical Mine Camps

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about the Old West's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the famous and well-documented Alamo, but perhaps you haven't heard about:

• The Mamie R. Mine, plagued by Tommyknockers who beckon miners into danger by mimicking the screams of children;
• The Mizpah Hotel, where a murdered seductress whispers in the ears of male patrons and leaves pearls to those she visits; and
• Yuma Territorial Prison, one of the most inhospitable prisons in US history where over a hundred inmates had perished-some by their own hand.
