Haunted Places to Visit in Texas

Blog· Entertainment

They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes the ghost stories!

Haunted Places to Visit in Texas

Frio River – The White Lady of Rio Frio is well-known to locals and visitors alike. This ghost story actually began as a twisted love story dating back to the 1900s. Maria Juarez was once loved by Gregorio, her sister’s husband. Maria refused to have an affair with Gregorio, and when she finally found a man to marry, Gregorio flew into a rage and shot her in the heart. Maria was killed, and buried in her wedding dress. She now floats above the river, where you’ll notice a mist – and maybe be able to make out a woman in a white dress.

Texas Killing Fields – Okay so this one is very sad, and creepy. If any place is haunted, the Texas Killing Fields would be it. Read about the gruesome history and decide for yourself!

Kerr County Courthouse – There are many ghost stories/legends that mention Kerr County, especially the Kerr County Courthouse. One of the most popular incidents involves what was once the county jail. The third story at the top of the older part of the courthouse was the jail. Employees have said that it was haunted by an inmate who died while in custody. There have been reports of strange noises, like metal banging against the steel bars.

Presidio La Bahia – This Spanish fort was originally founded in 1722. The Goliad Massacre occurred here, which explains the massive amount of ghostly activity on the grounds.

There have been several reports of cold spots, sounds of babies crying, a woman in white, banging on doors, and more. Most of the paranormal activity has been noticed in the courtyard in front of the church.

Jefferson Hotel – The entire town of Jefferson, Texas is known for frequent ghost sightings and creepy legends, but the hotel is said to be one of the most haunted in the entire country. Visitors have even claimed they’ve been locked in their rooms by spirits! The creaky stairway is especially spooky.

Haunted Houses

Ready for a staged scarefest?

Terror Escape – Terror Nigths has this awesome attraction called Terror Escape. You and your friends have been kidnapped by a cannibalistic family. The family has created a “game” in their dead mother’s home, and you have 60 minutes to escape and get out alive!

The 13th Floor – It seems like every city has an attraction named “The 13th Floor”, and with good reason… the legend of the 13th floor is pretty darn scary! Read about the legend before you go.

Thrillvania – Sam Hain’s Trail of Torment, Cassandra’s Labyrinth of Terror, and the World Famous Verdun Manor make up this Thrill Park that covers over 50 acres of land. Be sure to grab a coupon before you go, to save a few bucks!

Which haunted attraction will you visit first?!

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
