Amidst the echoes of a once vibrant community, Thurber, Texas, reveals a poignant relic of devotion - an aged and rusted Greek cross. Standing as a testament to the faith that once flourished in this now-ghost town, the cross stands weathered by time yet enduring in its significance. Within the enigmatic charm of Thurber's remnants, this cross offers a glimpse into the spiritual tapestry that once adorned the landscape. A haunting reminder of a town's bygone era, Thurber's ghostly presence persists in the northwest corner of Erath County, a mere seventy-five miles west of Fort Worth.
