Take a spine-tingling journey with author Docia Williams as she introduces you to the ghosts that roam the warm beaches of Port Aransas and South Padre Island. You may want to keep the night light on as she investigates the mysterious hauntings of La Bahia at Goliad, the Golden Triangle, and the presidios of far South Texas. Using tangible evidence and first-hand testimony, Williams attempts to validate some of the bizarre and disturbing accounts of ghosts along the Texas coast.
