Throughout the United States you will find communities with strange names. Perhaps the strangest is found in the hill country of Texas.

Texas is a wonderful place to travel to enjoy beautiful scenery, the famous blue bonnets and other Texas wildflowers, and sites that chronical the storied American West.

In this episode I look at the strange story behind a little-known Texas ghost town. It is the story of the Baby Head Cemetery
