On this tour of the Sooner State, you'll encounter the outlandish, exceptional, and bizarre.

  • Deanna

    If your visiting Oklahoma or a resident like I am this book is a must read. Full of historical facts and places too see. I learned so many interesting things about our special state. I will be buying other Weird books by Wesley Treat to learn about other states as well. I loved all the pictures on each page. When I was done I passed the book on to my sons teacher so she could read to her students about our great state of OKLAHOMA.

  • Maddy Welton

    As a lover of all things weird this book was amazing. Totally changed the way I see my state, and in a way inspired me to be more interested in Oklahoma.

  • Kim Savage

    Fun facts from Oklahoma that you probably won't learn in Oklahoma History. Scary ghost stories, gruesome murders, and even a few UFOs. If you're looking for a great coffee table book with great pictures AND good reading...this is it!

  • Michell

    As a resident of Oklahoma, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I like the interesting and sometimes spooky content of this book, which vary from local legends to ancient mysteries to ghosts to abandoned places, and a lot more!

  • Rhonda

    This is a fun series!

  • Cherie Waggie

    There's nothing like finding out about interesting things in your own state that you were never aware of. This book lists a lot of places that I now would very much like to visit, and several places that I was aware of and have been. The stories are fun and interesting, and in some cases, not quite accurate. I loved reading about my own state and learning things that have fired my imagination, plus ignited my desire to add some that the author missed.

    My family and i went to some of the the places in the book. We made it a weekend adventure mapped them out and went to the ones that were close to us. We still have some to do but they are a little far from us.
