About the author
Mary Jacobs is the author of Haunted Plano, Texas, published by the History Press, which collects local ghost stories and urban legends tied to the city of Plano. The book moves through specific sites and figures associated with the town's reputed hauntings, including accounts referred to as the Goat Man and the Clown Threat, the Ranch 111 site linked to stories of ritual activity, and an apparition reported by staff at the Art Centre. Like other entries in the History Press's regional haunted-history series, it is built from collected local legend and anecdote rather than investigative or academic research, and is aimed at readers with an interest in Texas folklore and at residents or visitors curious about the stories attached to familiar local landmarks. The book appears in two History Press editions in this catalogue, both from 2018.
