SHERMAN STORIES - 4. NORTH TEXAS STORIES - From Denison to Dallas, Sherman to Dexter, Bonham to Van Alstyne, Whitewright to Jefferson, from Gainesville to Honey Grove and from Grayson County to Ellis County; in this book you will find more ghosts, haints, haunts 'N hoodoos and just plain weird and scary stories from North Texas. If you love ghost stories, you will want this book. But even history lovers who are "non-believers" in ghosts will enjoy all the information from the past of our wonderful North Texas! This book is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of these stories by any means, there are many more to be discovered! Also check out the other Volumes of my Red River Hauntings series of books and enjoy the stories!

The ghost stories and strange tales in this book and the previous volumes, are not just fun scary stories, they are also part of our history. Many of these true ghost stories also contain a great deal of this area's past. Who said history has to be boring, right? (This might be a good way to introduce young people to a love of local history; they love scary ghost stories!). Even if you are not sure about the reality of ghosts or just don't believe in them, it is still an interesting light-hearted read from which one may learn something about the area; and there are many strange, interesting tales which are not about ghosts. The same is also true of Volumes One and Two in this series of Red River Hauntings. I tried to write a book that I myself would want to read, and I think Volume 3 is the best of the series! Some who are Christians may be reluctant to, or refuse to believe in the paranormal. The writer of this book is a Christian as well. Even Christianity allows that there are such things in existence as evil spirits and "ministering spirits" called guardian angels. Who knows what some of these paranormal manifestations really are? There is a very appropriate quote from the character named Esther in a Christian based movie done in 1959 called "Ben Hur" which said "The world is more than we know." I believe that. Christians and Jews will remember Balaam's donkey who saw the army of angels in the road which Balaam couldn't see. Were they there, or not?? They most certainly were, but the man couldn't see them. It is left to the reader to believe what they will and draw whatever conclusions they wish from the articles and stories, but they certainly DO make for entertaining reading. This book will not only recount ghost stories, and identify places reputed to be haunted, but also a few other odd, strange or scary phenomena will be examined which have been found to occur in Grayson County and the near vicinity over the years. (Ghosts and odd occurrences don't always stay strictly confined inside county lines. There may be a bit of "paranormal overflow" into neighboring counties and into southern Oklahoma!
