Haunted Guthrie, Oklahoma

by Jeff Provine, Tanya McCoy

A Victorian district frozen in time, Guthrie was the first territorial and state capital of Oklahoma, and many of its former residents still wander some of its majestic brick buildings. Outlaws and cultists haunt the infamous Black Jail, the state's first territorial prison. Once a bustling neighborhood, the houses of the overgrown Elbow now stand in ruins. Secrets remain at the famous Masonic Temple shrouded in mystery, and a lonely girl wanders the railroad in search of her beau who never returned home from the Great War. Oklahoma Paranormal Association co-founder Tanya McCoy and Oklahoma historian Jeff Provine invite you to explore these and many more spine-chilling accounts from one of America's most haunted cities.

3.5 Stars. Some of the stories were better than others, some of the history bits I skipped over to get to the monsters. It was interesting to me to read about spooky happenings in places I’ve seen or been to.

A good companion book to go along with the Guthrie Ghost Tours. Very informative about the early history of Guthrie as well.

Good mix of Guthrie history and ghost stories. Really enjoyed this book. It just loses a star because there were some errors throughout. I would hire a better editor and it would be 5 stars.

Pretty decent book about the haunted buildings of Guthrie. I liked it more for the history of the town than anything. The ghost stories themselves were a little lacking and I was disappointed that none of the many pictures mentioned of supposed ghosts were in the book. Overall, people who enjoy history told with a bit of flair will enjoy this book.
