Halloween certainly drums up images of ghosts, goblins and the sort, but the truth is, most Texans can tell you a solid ghost story anytime of the year. Whether skeptic or believer, sharing a first-hand experience or passing on the tale, there are many goosebump-inducing stories to be told.

Storyteller Alicia Nevárez-Warner wins a San Antonio prize package: A two-night stay at the Omni San Antonio Hotel at the Colonnade, breakfast for two at Bolo’s Restaurant, two tickets and an exhibit catalogue to the Miró Exhibition at the McNay Art Museum. The others will receive a Texas Highways 2016 calendar for participating. Thank you!
