A Figure Eight

 If you turn a figure 8 on its side, it becomes like a balance scale.  That was the thought in my head.  The rest of the story vanished like an apparition.  Speaking of apparitions, I learned about some stampeding and vanishing cattle that are part of a Texas story and ghost tale.  Or was it horses that were heard and cattle that were seen?  Anyway, I would not rule out the possibility that some Texas ghost stories could be based on real paranormal happenings that have occurred.  It seems to be a popular theme.  I have even had my own very real experiences here in Texas.  I guess this is my year for Texas Appreciation 101.  Chapter 1, ghosts.

I need to read this book.
