Stone Oak resident Barry Harrin's exploration of a small South Texas ghost city in his fourth book, “Helena, Texas: The Toughest Town on Earth,” covers lots of ground.
Based on his research, Harrin says the featured stories were purposely hidden from school textbooks and other resources.
What stories, you ask? According to Harrin, a more realistic history of Texas can be found via such chapters that examine how Spain and Texas Hispanics had a major impact on the American Revolution, a very bloody battle that is virtually unknown, and a secret group that may have been involved in President Lincoln's assassination.
And there's plenty of talk about ghosts.......One of the most unique research experiences for Harrin was paranormal activity in the ghost town.
“Helena, Texas is a ghost town with real ghosts that have terrorized its inhabitants for well over a hundred years — strange fireballs, sounds, footsteps, shadows and voices,” Harrin said, noting a few other claims.
