Is Shafter Lake Near My Hometown Of Andrews Haunted? Every town has a good ghost story. Specifically small towns here in our West Texas area and my little hometown of Andrews, TX is no different. I remember growing up, I would here little tales here and there about a place called Shafter Lake. I knew that it was somewhere outside of Andrews, and little Rebecca vowed to go there one day, 'maybe when I get older' I said. Well I'm here to tell you that never happened. lol As I grew up, I became a little hesitant because of the stories I would hear about it. As a teen, some of my friends went to check it out, specifically at night in hopes of seeing something paranormal and yes they would always report back that there was a ghost who roamed this little, abandoned ghost town. Good, let it stay there was always my response. I was never brave enough to check out for myself to this day.
