About the author
Scott A Johnson is the author of Haunted Austin, Texas and Ghosts of San Antonio, both published by Schiffer Publishing. Haunted Austin, Texas guides readers through reportedly haunted sites in the city, including the Driskill Hotel, a former speakeasy, and the Paggi Blacksmith Shop. Ghosts of San Antonio turns to that city's history of violence and its most haunted locations, among them the Menger Hotel, said to be home to a spirit child and a ghostly figure known as the lady in blue. Both books are structured as guided tours through specific, named locations, pairing local history with reported paranormal activity rather than analysis or theory. They fall under the spiritualism category and are aimed at readers interested in regional ghost lore and haunted-place guides, particularly those planning to visit or already familiar with these Texas cities.
