Dan Terry has outdone himself October 16, 2008
Book Review:
Missouri Shadows: a journey through the lesser known, the famous,
and the infamous, haunts of Missouri
Regular Haunted Times contributor Dan Terry has outdone himself with his second ghost book, which features Missouri hauntings statewide. This volume has 202 pages.
As the subtitle of the book suggests, a reader from anywhere in the nation will not be disappointed. It covers places and people that everyone has heard of, and more than likely knows something about. The author covers a different county or city in 18 of the 20 chapters of the book. Each one commences with a succinct history. The chapter on Hannibal, for instance, begins by noting two famous residents the town has had. Maggie Toben was born there, the woman who later became known as Molly Brown and survived the sinking of the Titanic. Samuel Clemens grew up there, and later became known as Mark Twain. Terry goes on to report on some of the haunted places of the town, including a summer house turned bed and breakfast where cigar smoke from the past can still be smelled in the room where Mark Twain stayed.
Other nationally-known topics in the book are St. Louis, General William S. Harney, General Nathaniel Lyon, and the 1861 Battle of Oak Hills, or Wilson's Creek. Along the way, the reader will be introduced to many other colorful places and people across this centrally-located state. Many of these people, though officially pronounced dead and buried, seem to not yet have an agreeable frame of mind for leaving their earthly abode.
