Ghosts Of Galveston (Haunted America) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
One of the oldest cities in Texas, Galveston has witnessed more than its share of tragedies. Devastating hurricanes, yellow fever epidemics, fires, a major Civil War battle and more cast a dark shroud on the city's legacy. Ghostly tales creep throughout the history of famous tourist attractions and historical homes. The altruistic spirit of a schoolteacher who heroically pulled victims from the floodwaters during the great hurricane of 1900 roams the Strand. The ghosts of Civil War soldiers march up and down the stairs at night and pace in front of the antebellum Rogers Building. The spirit of an unlucky man decapitated by an oncoming train haunts the railroad museum, moving objects and crying in the night. Kathleen Shanahan Maca explores these and other haunted tales from the Oleander City.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history, non-fiction ghost stories, or is looking to travel. If this book does one thing, it makes one wish to visit the places so well written about, and experience the charm, elegance, and sometimes spookiness for ones self.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Kathleen Maca's extensive research and engaging style adds a new dimension to Galveston history. Each short story is complete in itself and illustrated with historic photos. Like a box of fine chocolates, Ghosts of Galveston is a book to open up and enjoy any time.
