Antonio has a rich haunted history. "Ghosthunting San Antonio" by
local author Micharl Varhola covers 30 haunted locations in or
around the cities of San Antonio and Austin and throughout the

Country." This hands-on guide also includes an introduction to the
subject of ghosthunting in the Lone Star State and all the
information readers need to visit the places described within it.

haunted places.
