PRESS RELEASE for Paranormal Texas, 2nd edition. What this North Texas author discovered while researching haunted places may surprise you!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Headline for mainstream outlets: “Author Reveals Surprising Trends for North Texas Haunted Places
Headline for paranormal outlets: “Author Encounters Eerie Doppelganger at a Haunted Hotel in Texas”
AZLE, Texas – Aug 13, 2019 — Think paranormal activity only happens at night? Think again. And did you know that haunted elevators are a thing? And what, exactly, is the most common name for North Texas ghosts? These are just a few of the surprising trends author Tui Snider discovered while researching her latest book, Paranormal Texas, 2nd edition.
This exciting new update of Snider’s popular travel guide to haunted places in North Texas now includes over 100 photos, new venues, and even more haunted history than the original. “Every book I write takes research, but Paranormal Texas is different. Researching this book meant attending official ghost hunts with paranormal researchers. It was a lot of fun and I learned surprising things along the way.”
For instance, on a paranormal investigation at a haunted hotel, paranormal investigators had an encounter with Snider’s ghostly doppelgänger. “I used to think doppelgängers were mere folklore,” Tui explains, “But when mine showed up at the Olde Park Hotel, I was stunned. We even recorded her voice and she sounds exactly like me!” (Here’s a link to a YouTube video in which you can hear this EVP: Doppelganger EVP.)
Snider’s new book helps paranormal enthusiasts, ghost hunters, curiosity seekers, and history buffs find haunted places in the DFW area. The author doesn’t just tell you about haunted places, she gives readers addresses and websites so you can plan a haunted road trip of your own.

It offers armchair thrills as well as exciting road trip opportunities.”
