belongings. It likes to use their credit cards, money, and driver's
license to play a game of poker under the bed. In the last room during
the hours of 12 and 2:30 a foul smell is present in the room, which is
said to be the same spirit that likes to play with the lights and
belongings. There was also a case where a mysterious man wearing all
green and a cap that concealed all of his face except for his red
beard. He was working in the office in the early morning hours; the
next day it was discovered that no men were employed at this motel, yet

is said to be a ghost who roams the aisles of Wal-mart who plays
practical jokes on the associates. There is also a spirit who has
caused major problems in the store by making accidents happen and
causing damage to the merchandise and equipment at the store. The
associates have nicknamed the practical joker "Matilde" or Matilda"
because the sex is not known. On the other hand, the problem causing
spirit has never been named because the associates prefer no contact
with that spirit. The Wal-Mart is built on an old homestead site of the

adjacent to the Wal-Mart.- July 2005 Update:
The Wal-Mart has been bought and is now a Sutherlands.

and get off to see everything up close. There is a definite sense of
sorrow and gloom surrounding the area.
Alvin - Harby Jr. High - This place is teeming with weird things. During the

done.
Amarillo - Tradewinds
Airport - Rumor has it that back when the place
was a private air strip, a woman caught her husband with his mistress
in their private plane and killed both of them then committed suicide.
This would explain the distinct smell of perfume, which comes and
goes(even in the strongest breeze) Also strange lights( like a plane
gearing up) can be seen coming from an abandoned hanger. From this same
area the sounds of arguing have been heard but there is no one there.

Andrews - Shafter Lake - Just north of Andrews, Texas, west of Highway 385, is
the original location of the county seat of Andrews County, Shafter. It
was named after a Union Army Soldier of the same last name. The town
was almost completely wiped out by a smallpox epidemic around the turn
of the last century, possibly sometime before 1910. Up until about ten
years ago, the cemetery where the victims were buried was located on
the near edge of the small lake (which comes and goes as it pleases),
but the bodies were moved and reentered elsewhere. Legend was that a
"lady in white" haunted the graveyard, possibly the reason for its
removal. Sometime during the fall of the year, you may also see a troop
of Confederate soldiers and their horses galloping across the lake,
usually during a full moon. Most think it is General Shafter and his
men, who did patrol that area before it was settled, trying to escape
Comanche Indians pursing them. By the way, the lake wasn't (and isn't)
always there. It just appeared sometime in the forties, according to my
mother, who lived in the area from 1948 on. The water is very salty,
not good for anything, and there is no explanation for its being there
at all.
Anson - Haunted Bridge on
the outskirts of town - An old metal bridge in

Unsolved Mysteries about a year ago. Many residents from Anson and the
near town of Abilene have gone to witness these phenomenal lights. The
cemetery is located going towards the country. The lights are viewed by
driving down the dirt farm road equivalent of about a half mile or
more. As you drive closer to the cemetery towards the lights they
disappear. As for the actual story for this occurrence, is unsolved.
Local myth says that this light is the ghost of a mother carrying a
lantern looking for her missing child. The child had left the house on
cold winter day and was lost and froze to death. The mother's spirit
still searches for her child.
Aquilla - Lavanot - there this really old cemetery that's back in the

trailer) coming right at you. If you don't leave right then it will
come to you.
Aquilla - trains on the
invisible railroads - There used to be a
railroad track here. A long time ago the city burnt down twice because
of the trains throwing sparks, so they decided to just take up all the
rails. Well every now and then around 12:00 midnight you can here the

sleep! You can see the light on the front and hear it blow its
whistles! But it never stops it just goes right through town.

murdered his family in the 90's. It's said that if you go into the
house mysterious people run out, weird noises our heard like footsteps,
doors slamming, windows breaking. - November
2003 Update: The house was built in the 40's. The whole area around it
was a ranch, and that's where the family lived. The murders happened in
the 60's or early 70's. There are two stories; the first being the
family had a retarded son they kept in the cellar, but not abusively.
He lived down there, had everything he need, bathroom, bed, television.
There is a large walk in freezer down there too. Apparently he murdered
his parents and kept the bodies in the freezer, and eventually died
himself. The second story is that The kid that lived there wasn't
retarded, and after his parents died of natural causes lived there.
It's said he was a pedophile and a child murderer and would kill
children and hide their bodies in the freezer. Right now it's zoned for
commercial use, so companies keep buying the property with plans to
level it and put a building there. About two or three weeks later,
they'll sell it. Reports of a family who bought it and started to
renovate it. New shingles, new windows, all the graphite on the outside
is gone, but 3 weeks later, all work on the house stopped. Right now
there is a fence around the property, and the road has been lowered,
but you can still see it. - March 2007 Update:

another car coming hitting it head on. Both cars erupted into flames
and plummeted into the river below. All involved were killed and since
then the road has been closed and can only be walked to through the
park. Legend has it that if you find the bridge you will see the dates
of the occurrence and the names of the deceased glowing as tombstones
in the water and if after that you still dare you can sit in the middle
of the bridge on the night that it happened and at midnight you will
witness a heavy fog coming up from the river as you see headlights
approaching from either side of the bridge.
Arlington - River Legacy
Park - The Hobo - Near the park are some
railroad tracks that run through an area called Mosier Valley so the
park is a good getting off place for the train hoppers since the train
has to slow down here. One night an old hobo was staying in the park
and was awoken by the sounds of screams. Wondering to the edge of the
woods from where he had been sleeping he saw a car parked and what
appeared to be a man and a woman fighting. Walking closer he saw the
man hitting the woman and the woman knocked unconscious. Opening the
door he grabbed the man but in the struggle that ensued was shot. The
next day the woman was found wondering through the park delirious and
half naked but the hobo laid dead next to where the car had been.
However, lovers parked late at night still catch a glimpse of the old
hobo. Legend has it that late at night if you are still in the park
after closing you will hear a tap on your window and there will be an
old man standing there in rags.

Brodie Lane and US 290 - This store is said to
be haunted by a Ghost referred to by employees as "Fred". There is a

visitor to the site thinks this may be her father. She states, "My
father was a "craftsman" carpenter as some people call it and he built
a lot of things around Austin and loved nothing better than to make
things in his shop which was our garage. People would see the garage
door open and stop to talk to him and he would help anyone who needed
anything made. He was 74 when he died in his shop doing what he loved.
He left me and my Mom in debt and a rundown house so we could only
afford a cremation. I am a big believer that people should be buried
where their happy doing what they loved. So me and my friend took my
dad to home depot on brodie, mainly the garden section because their
were people around. I let my father's ashes go their because he had a
love for making things and helping people. His name is Herbert, nick
name herb. I am a little freaked out about this because I wanted to do
right by him by placing him where he loved to shop and run up his home
depot credit card! He is bald and short and Blue eyes, has always
walked very fast so if someone sees him tell them not to be afraid just
ask him for help and he will find it."

Big Spring - Flight
Line Prison - Shut down many years ago.
Occurrences started happening before the prison was even completely
finished. Some building materials were stolen from the site so a guard
had to be posted there. During the first night our control center got a
frantic call from our guard asking for back up because he knew some one
was out there he could hear them but he couldn't find them. Upon
response loud music could be heard in the mess hall, but as soon as
they would open the door the music would stop. The entire facility was
searched and no trace could be found of anyone. Guards were doubled up
due to the fact that no one would go out there alone. Strange noises,
lights, and whispering reoccurred every night. The prison was completed
and staffed. A fire safety inspection, area shakedowns and an outer
perimeter fence check is conducted every night. While doing these
checks guards have reported seeing an old woman in the education wing
that will walk the halls at night and give you a quick glance and
disappear only she leaves behind a white powder everywhere she has been
spotted. A mischievous entity that haunts the mess hall that will clank
and rattle the pots and pans as well as move things to and fro. A
shadowy figure that walks the living quarter wings. And a small child
who loves to scare the life out of anyone who so happens to be in the
perimeter truck at that time. It has appeared on several occasions in
the back of the truck looking in at you through the back window, or in
front of the truck as you drive around, and has even decided to wake up
several guards who dozed off by tapping them on the arm. It has caused
several wrecks from trying to swerve to miss him, rounds being
chambered into their firearms, and on a couple of occasions guards to
quit on the spot.

their own. When the girls were walking back one of the girls noticed
that her friend had not said a word while walking she would just nod
her head to everything she would say. Then she heard her friends

by an unknown figure, not her friend.

sounds have been experienced in almost every building on campus. - December 2004 – additional information - The last
battles of the Mexican American war occurred in Brownsville. One of the
battles was the siege on Ft. Texas (later named Ft. Brown, in honor of
Maj. Jacob Brown who died in the siege) It started May 3rd and ended
May 9th, 1846. There were only 2 Americans killed and 7 wounded, so the

lived here may be still around. On different nights, nearby railroad
crossing lights would flash and no trains would be there. - January 2007 Correction/ update: After several
interviews of personnel - no one that works at the DeWitt Perry Museum
has seen or heard anything strange or "paranormal." One of the
employees that was spoken with has been with the museum for the past
SEVEN years and they have never heard/seen anything to make them think
the historical marker is haunted. The employees think that the middle
school kids that walk home each day might be freaked out by the house
and are the ones who may have started this rumor. If you would like a
tour you can go to their website for details. No flash photography in
the house and only certain parts of the property are on the tour
itself.
Carrollton - Newman
Smith High School - Abigail reportedly
died while storing boxes under the stage. Now she is sometimes seen on
the catwalk, and plays with the gels on the spots. Students hit the
stage with a hammer 3 times to keep her from interfering with a show,
and sometimes, when reviewing a tape of a show, they can spot her
standing in the set's shadows. - January
2007 Update / Correction: You can check yearbooks, newspapers, death
records, and media and find that there was no Abigail or tragedies
under the stage. However, even though the story is fabricated, many say
strange things happen to them while in the theatre. Noises can be
heard. Some say a female voice can mimick your female voice from around
the theatre and give tech commands when you didn't give them. Is this
because they know the "story" of Abigail or has the belief in Abigail
and her story made her a reality in the theatre? Or could it be someone
else?
Cason - Slaton
Cemetery- Blue Light Cemetery - This
is due to the various occurrences to locals such as a young couple went
to the cemetery to make-out one night , and were found several days
later laid against a tombstone with their faces frozen in fear. It is
said that if you go into the cemetery after dark, you will see a blue
light floating around the cemetery. If you go in the middle of summer,
you will reach places in the cemetery that are ice cold, also there are
bushes planted inside that if stood in front of on a still day, one
side of the bush will be moving as though being struck by a tornado.
One report is of a man in his car actually being pulled inside the
cemetery with his car not going into any gear but drive while something
outside was calling his name repeatedly. It is a matter of belief, but
I have been both during the day and at night, and I wouldn't recommend
doing so unless you are a believer of faith, and a strong believer of
paranormal activities.

as a game room with a private bar constructed on a grand scale of
mahogany and trimmed in tufted leather and brass. The view from the
penthouse was described as rivaling that of the Top of the Mark
Restaurant in San Francisco. It was the scene of many "invitation only"
parties attended by Corpus' elite, where Wilson negotiated many of his
major business deals. Most of the talk centered on "Sam's" parties and
card games. The 21st floor contained guest rooms for "out-of-town"

civic, bridge and debutante functions in the penthouse. Today the Tower

...But a few months later the groom married the dead woman's sister.
Now, at night, the bride can be seen running from the house, across the
road and towards the lake before disappearing. The actual history of
the Castle is not quite as dramatic as the ghost stories it has
spawned...but in case anyone is curious... The Castle was originally an
1860's rock farmhouse that was purchased in the 1920's by the Whitings.
After extensive renovations and the addition of the round crenulated
front wing and the rear tower the rambling mansion took on the look of
a castle. It was completed in 1938 and Mrs. Whiting, who mostly
supervised the renovation, named it "Inverness". The residence has seen
several owners in the past and at one time Gary Stewart stayed there
while filming a movie in the 1950's. In the not so distant past the
castle was vacant for a long period of time and was in such disrepair
it was on the verge of being condemned. It is now currently occupied
and restored.

The building is a fairly modern one with a grid type pattern on one
side. The building is concrete with sandstone like finish. The old
man's face appeared on one of the grids (there were nine total) the
face is a lot like a shadow picture but is quite clearly visible. The
story is that the grid where the face appeared was sandblasted to
remove the face, only a few days later the face reappeared in a
different grid. It is possible that the sandblasting was repeated at
least one time with the face appearing yet again in a different spot.
The building is quite close to the bay edge of the island and the site
is very difficult to see without being on the actual grounds of the
building. Someone might be able to see it from the water.
Garland - Lakeview
High School - Ever since it was opened in
the 1970's, it was always consider the "bad" school. Over the years it
was given the name of "Suicide High". It was given this name because
sometime in the late 70's a boy shot himself in the bathroom. Later on
in the 80's a girl broke the mirror and slit her throat, a two girls
found her. To this day there's still no mirrors in the girls bathrooms.
Later, only one girls and boy killed themselves in the school. Many
students that attended Lakeview in the mid 90's committed suicide. In
the bathrooms, sometimes you can hear footsteps when nobody else is in
there. There's no windows in the school, that's what some students feel
that make rooms so cold. There are cold spots in some places, and you
can hear voices too. - December 2006
Correction: A former student reports when she went there from 1983 to
1987 there where indeed mirrors. There was only 1 suicide she knows off

"that we did not have windows in our classrooms."

nearby lake. From that day, apparitions have appeared as well as sounds

moved decades later to make way for a new subdivision. People who live
in the now-called "Lake Jackson Farms" have reported apparitions
outside their homes, strange noises, and in at least a few cases, full
hauntings. All that remains on the site of the original plantation
house is the fireplace, made of mud brick.

was in trouble. Press and families were putting alot of heat on the
school, and it was too much for the principle. He shot himself in his

you can almost see a girls face, RIGHT in front of your face, LOOKING
you right in the eyes!
