From disturbing phantom appearances along Route 666 to thrilling sightings of military ghosts that appear at dusk, Arizona Twilight Tales will spellbind readers. Perhaps folk tales from Hispanic culture, Native American Legends, and chilling stories about old mining towns are actually true? It was a dark and stormy night. Nothing very remarkable about that, except that such a night is a rarity on the southern Arizona desert. When these nights arrive with their gully washers roaring across the land, water overflows the banks of the typically dry Santa Cruz River. On such nights, strange and frightening ghosts such as La Llorona prowl the land.... Some see her as a beautiful young woman with long raven tresses, enshrouded in a white cloak, while others meet a crippled old woman with long white hair cloacked in a black cape. Her fingernails glisten like knives in the starlight, and her eternal cries for her lost children pierce the night. There are also accounts of spirits, who are a blessing to see. Our Lady of Guadalupe has been sited in unexpected places around the world, and on her feast day, December 12, faithful devotees throughout Arizona and the Southwest serenade her, visit her special altars, and throw parties for girls named after her. The miracles that happen in her presence will astound you. This collection of tales will haunt you, delight you, and keep you wondering what's real and what, if anything, is imagined!
