“Oklahoma, where the wind comes sleeping down the plains” is also the state where you will find tales of many ghosts and legends on a dark, windswept night .
“Ghosts and Legends of Oklahoma“ by Mike Ricksecker (Schiffer Publishing 2011) is the perfect book to pack in your suitcase as you travel across The Sooner State. The chapters are divided by regions and each contain stories of haunted hotels, eerie bed & breakfast stops, forts, theatres and more. There is even a chapter dedicated to ghost towns, and cemeteries.
Ricksecker, who has appeared on Animal Planet’s “The Haunted”, is currently a paranormal investigator and “ghostorian” with the Society o f the Haunted. His expertise in the field of the paranormal shines through his stories since he has investigated many of the locations named in the book.
‘‘Ghosts and Legends of Oklahoma” shares a ghost tale or two for fans of Oklahoma history that include Native American legends, the Civil War, famous outlaws, oil boomtowns, railroads, famous Route 66, and deadly tornados. Having grown up in the Midwestern states, I could relate to the horror and reasons why a ghost make its presence known after a tornado disaster. Unexpected or untimely death seems to spark the appearance of a confused spirit.
The haunted location sites are marked clearly on maps in the back of the book. This makes it easy to chart out your next ghostly adventure. “Ghosts and Legends of Oklahoma” should be carried along with your road atlas at all times on future haunted road trips.
