About the author
Brian Righi is the author of a run of regional ghost-story guides published by Schiffer Publishing, including Ghosts of Fort Worth, Spirits of Dallas, and Supernatural Texas: A Field Guide. Writing as a self-described ghost hunter, Righi surveys reputedly haunted sites across North Texas cities and beyond, from cemeteries and historic hotels to battlefields and frontier forts, gathering local legends, reported sightings, and the history behind each location. The books move place by place rather than building an argument, pairing short historical background with anecdotes attributed to residents, staff, and visitors. Supernatural Texas widens the geography to include rural and small-town sites such as the Marfa lights and Stampede Mesa. Readers drawn to Righi's work are typically interested in local history and folklore as much as the supernatural claims themselves, and the books work as travel-minded guides to specific addresses and landmarks as much as story collections.
