Haunted Places in Texas That Will Scare You Witless

The celebrated Essex-class aircraft carrier from World War II.

The naval floating museum, nicknamed "The Blue Ghost", is reported to be the home of spirits of an engine room operator and a few crew members who died on the ship. Many visitors have claimed to witness flickering lights and doors slamming shut on their own accord while aboard the ship.

With unidentified, ghostly specters showing up in yearbook pictures, sounds of applause and cheering heard from empty basketball courts, and sealed hallways dripping with unknown slime, the El Paso High School is one of the scariest schools to attend in the country!

Used extensively during the Civil War, this dirt road is rife with chilling tales. Sightings of the dreaded Goatman and Bigfoot, hand prints left in the dust on parked cars, make a drive down this road the scariest road trip ever!

The luxurious hotel's most famous paranormal resident is the 'Lovelorn Lady', an unfortunate woman who took her own life upon learning that the ship her fiance was sailing in, had been destroyed along with its crew. In a cruel twist of fate, her fiance had actually survived the wreck.

Built on the site of the fierce Battle of Salado, the beautiful event venue is the domain of the battle’s victims, ghosts of little children, an apparition of a man stomping around angrily on the ground, and a despondent woman, believed to be his wife.

The hotel has seen a fair share of celebratory guests, both living and non-living. The ghosts include the late ex-president Theodore Roosevelt, who is said to help himself to a drink at the hotel bar during the night, and a housemaid who is so devoted to her job that she continues to perform her duties even after being killed by her husband!
