This book reports ghosts and hauntings from Austin, as well as ghosts within a few hours' drive from Austin. Photos in the book include haunted sites in Columbus and San Antonio, Texas.

Ms. Broome is one of the first to report the hauntings related to Jack the Ripper's early years in Texas.

She also identifies paranormal patterns that link many of Austin's most famous haunted places.

Originally from New England, Fiona researched the ghosts of Austin while living between Austin and Houston, Texas.
