Local History: Home

Killeen and the surrounding area has long been known by paranormal researchers and ghost hunters as a habitat for haunts; a virtual Mecca for the paranormal. Native American burial grounds, knife and gunfights, bank robberies, stage holdups, men and women died many horrible and torturous violent deaths over the centuries in this central Texas community. Most of them lie buried in peace. But not all. This book is no means a full and complete tally of all of the haunted locations within the area. More tales come to light all of the time as more and more witnesses come forward. Witnesses who were embarrassed and thought no one would believe their experiences: or thought that people would mock or ridicule them. The chapters within will reveal some of the more haunted locations that have been identified in and around the City of Killeen. Stories of hauntings that were taken from the very lips of witnesses. Witnesses whose voices still quivered in fear, remembering what they had seen, heard, and even felt.
