Haunted Stillwater, Oklahoma (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467171175)

"Where Oklahoma Began" and the Spirits Linger

Stillwater is a place with its boots planted firmly in different worlds--Cross Timbers and Great Plains, cowboys and Natives, Boomers and gunslingers. Less evident, however, Payne County possesses paranormal peculiarities unseen by the average visitor. Ghostly soldiers persist at the first Civil War battlefield in the state, and phantom students mingle in haunted university halls. From the terrors of Ghost Hollow to glamorous remnants of the oil boom, spectral figures can be found "still pioneering" in "America's friendliest college town." Oklahoma folklorist Jeff Provine serves as your guide through the strange, the ethereal, and the whispered-about tales of Payne County.
