Weird Texas (Weird)

This is another Weird book I can check off my list now, however this one was disappointing. Texas is such a huge state, but most of the material in the book was quite boring and not all that interesting. Many of the tales were ghost related and recorded from a bunch of kids who went to this place or that because of a legend. If I wanted that I would just talk to people and listen to their stories that are completley outrageous and full of tall tales. There was some historical stuff, but very little and what was put there did not seem to be researched all that well. It also seemed like they only hit certain areas and said the hell with the rest of the state. It was not all bad, I did enjoy a few of the findings. The cemetery part was pretty cool, LaLorna legend I had heard of but still liked, and the Museum of funeral history is something I would love to visit.
