The Most Haunted Texas Live Stream
Welcome to the grand finale of Spooky Season! For our haunted Texas tour, we went big, bringing you chilling tales from the Lone Star State's most haunted locations. We’re talking ghost bridges, tragic brides in hotel hallways, and even a haunted zoo. If you thought Texas was just BBQ and bluebonnets, think again.
We dug into ten of Texas’ eeriest locations, from the haunted halls of Yorktown Memorial Hospital to the infamous Goatman’s Bridge in Denton. So buckle up, because these aren’t your average ghost stories.
Yorktown Memorial Hospital – Yorktown
Tucked away in small-town Yorktown, this hospital has the distinction of being haunted for all the right (or wrong) reasons. Built in 1950 by the Felician Sisters, the Yorktown Memorial Hospital’s original mission was drug and alcohol rehabilitation. But due to frequent medical mishaps and staggeringly high mortality rates, it’s now haunted by more than memories. Visitors claim to encounter the spirit of Dr. Leon Nowerski, a doctor with a dark reputation, alongside several nuns and “Stacy,” the spirit of a young girl who likes to play with visitors. Ghost-hunting thrill-seekers have reported apparitions, unsettling sounds, and encounters with spirits who lingered long after checkout.
The Lady of White Rock Lake – Dallas
Dallas’s very own ghostly hitchhiker, the Lady of White Rock Lake, has been haunting drivers for decades. Dressed in a soaked white gown, she appears desperate, flagging down cars along the lake road. Those who stop to help are in for a chilling surprise: she vanishes mid-ride, leaving a damp, cold spot in the backseat. Her backstory is a mystery, but locals believe she drowned tragically—possibly even on her wedding night. Either way, White Rock Lake’s ghostly lady has made quite the impression on Dallas lore.
Presidio La Bahía – Goliad
This Spanish mission-turned-fort in Goliad is known for its violent past. During the Texas Revolution, it was the site of the Goliad Massacre, where over 400 Texan soldiers were executed. Visitors report cold spots, eerie echoes of cannon fire, and ghostly soldiers wandering the grounds. The chapel, believed to be haunted by nuns who offer a protective presence, still gives many visitors chills. The Presidio La Bahía is a place where Texas’ haunted history seems to come alive.
Fort Worth Zoo – Fort Worth
Zoos aren’t typical haunted hotspots, but Fort Worth Zoo makes an eerie exception. By day, it’s your classic zoo; by night, it’s a playground for paranormal encounters. Security guards and zookeepers report sightings of a former zookeeper who, decades after his death, still checks on the animals. The primate house is notorious for strange, unexplainable sounds, and visitors sometimes hear children laughing near the petting zoo—long after closing time. Ghosts and gorillas? Only in Fort Worth.
The Jefferson Hotel – Jefferson
The Jefferson Hotel in East Texas is a favorite for ghost hunters. Originally a saloon and brothel in 1865, the building became a funeral home before reopening as a hotel, giving it a heavy-duty haunted history. Regular ghostly guests include “Jessica” and her playful son, Andrew, who’s known for tugging on visitors’ hair and rattling door handles. Then there’s “Billy,” a tragic groom who lost his bride in a mysterious fall, and “Jacqueline,” who mourns two lovers who died fighting over her. With over 300 paranormal investigations in the past decade, the Jefferson Hotel offers a memorable stay—and maybe a ghostly roommate.
Stephen F. Austin University – Nacogdoches
As Texas’ oldest town, Nacogdoches offers a campus rich in eerie history. Stephen F. Austin University is home to multiple ghosts, but none as famous as “Sydney,” a spectral actor who lingers around Turner Auditorium, keeping an eye on rehearsals. Meanwhile, Griffith Hall’s dormitory houses the spirit of a young woman who met a tragic end, and the library has its own haunting phenomena, with books falling and footsteps pacing the halls. At SFA, ghostly roommates and eerie encounters are part of campus life.
The Driskill Hotel – Austin
Austin’s Driskill Hotel might be Texas’ grandest ghostly site. Built in 1886, it’s a landmark in Romanesque architecture, and it’s supposedly haunted by founder Colonel Jesse Driskill himself, who’s been known to hang out in the lobby with a cigar. Near Room 329, guests report sightings of a tragic bride who shopped till she dropped—literally, spending $40,000 before taking her own life. Other notable ghosts include a little girl who fell to her death on the grand staircase and President Lyndon B. Johnson, who celebrated his first date with Lady Bird here. The Driskill captures Austin’s haunted elegance with style.
Villamain Road Railroad Tracks – San Antonio
San Antonio’s Villamain Road Railroad Tracks are infamous for a tale involving a school bus and a tragic collision. According to legend, the bus stalled on the tracks, and despite the driver’s efforts, an oncoming train struck the vehicle, killing all the children onboard. But the spirits of these children are now believed to protect the tracks, “pushing” stalled cars away from danger. Visitors report that baby powder sprinkled on the car’s back bumper leaves behind tiny handprints, a haunting reminder of the children’s watchful presence.
University of North Texas – Denton
UNT’s Denton campus has more than student life; it’s got ghost life, too. Bruce Hall’s attic is rumored to be haunted by “Wanda,” a student who allegedly met a tragic end decades ago and now roams the halls. Down in the boiler room, “The Boiler Room Ghost” loves to open heavy metal doors that even baffle the staff. Then there’s “Brenda” in Maple Hall, whose presence is known to leave water running and doors mysteriously ajar. Between midterms and hauntings, UNT students deal with more than just academic pressure.
Goatman’s Bridge – Denton
We’re ending on a classic: Goatman’s Bridge in Denton (officially known as Old Alton Bridge). The legend tells of Oscar Washburn, an African-American goat farmer who was reportedly lynched by the KKK, only for his body to disappear from the noose. His spirit, or a dark entity called “Goatman,” is said to haunt the bridge, where visitors claim to hear growls, hoofbeats, and even see glowing red eyes in the dark. Some even leave with scratches and bruises they can’t explain. The bridge’s popularity as a site for occult rituals only adds to its sinister reputation.
Final Thoughts
And there you have it—ten of Texas’ most spine-chilling locations, each with enough haunted history to fill a horror anthology. Whether you’re a brave soul looking to book a stay at a ghostly hotel or a skeptic keeping your distance, Texas’ paranormal hotspots are here to stay.
So, next time you're road-tripping across the Lone Star State, why not take a slight detour to see if you can catch a glimpse of the Goatman or smell that phantom cigar smoke in the Driskill lobby? Just remember, if you do have an encounter with the supernatural, don’t forget to tip the ghosts—they’re working overtime down here in Texas.
