Here you go, as requested, here are "some" of Houston's known haunted places. Please remember I am just posting this up for fun, if you can not tolorate these kind of things please steer away from this column. Thanks.




Houston - Ale House Pub and Eatery - There has been numerous sightings and mischief here. beer mug's go sailing across the room, food plates being flipped up for no apparent reason. Customer's getting hit with thing's, one so bad that he files a lawsuit against the pub stating they were responsible for his injuries (of course it was thrown out). - July 2005 Update: The Pub was torn down a few years ago and now has a book store and strip mall on the site.

Houston - Austin high school - Most of the times when students are walking alone they feel the presence of some one following them, but only on the third floor. Many students have said they have seen a young girl running down the halls.

Houston - Bellaire - Episcopal High School - People have claimed to hear her walk across the hallways and slam doors shut, sometimes even locking them. Some of the school faculty does not stay after 10:00 so they will not run into her either.

Houston - C.E. King High School - It is said that a woman roams the halls looking for her love who was said to have killed her.

Houston - Christman Road - Reports of an apparition of a girl dressed in a purple dress.

Houston - Cinemark Tinsel town 17 - Ghostly figures; little boy and man both died in a trailer park one murdered another burned to death when the whole thing went up. Doors opening, voices at night, lights turn on by themselves.

Houston - Cypress Springs High School - This is a fairly new school, built about 5 years ago in 1998. They say that a construction worker died while building the school and his body was left in the schools foundation and was never found. Noises are heard in the bathrooms. - January 2006 Additional information: In the auditorium (theater) cold spots have been felt backstage and there is no air conditioning back there. Footsteps have been heard on the catwalk. It is thought to be linked to the construction worker's body. One of our custodians doesn't like to stay at night because she hears noises around the school.

Houston - Edison Middle School - Reports of hearing screaming in the girl's locker room.

Houston - Episcopal High School - Episcopal High has expanded greatly in its 20 year existence, however, many other schools have stood in its place before. The Convent, the oldest building on the campus, has four stories, but students are only allowed on the first three because one of the nuns living in the convent almost a century ago hung herself on the fourth floor. The Catholic church would not perform a service for her funeral, and out of respect, no classes of Episcopal High School are held on the floor where she supposedly still resides.

Houston - Federal Court Building 515 Rusk - The 10th floor believed to be haunted by the spirit of U.S. District Judge Woodrow Seals, who died after surgery in October 1990. The judge's former chambers are said to always be colder than the rest of the floor and the smell of smoke from his cigars still lingers in the air late at night. Janitors and security guards report being touched and hearing voices and doors rattling when no one else is around.

Houston - Fiesta Elementary School - An old teacher who was accused of abusing children was reported to have killed herself in the bathroom of this school. At night, janitors and teachers staying after hours have seen the bathroom door open and close on its own and report hearing someone walk the halls and messing with the bulletin boards.

Houston - H.E.B on Harrisberg - Many people have seen an image of a little girl walking in the back warehouse where she was kidnapped and killed before the store was bought by H.E.B.

Houston - Hogg Middle School - In the mid 30's or 40's a famous gangster of the Heights Area was dug up and hung up on the flag pole as a practical joke. Janitors and Late Night Librarians have said to seen and heard his shadows and footsteps.

Houston - Jackson Middle School - It is said that two girls drowned in the pool and now haunt the place.

Houston - Jefferson Davis hospital - the hospital has spirits such as nurses, doctors, and patients that still roam its halls. Many have gone into this establishment and have had their own personal experiences such as being watched, seeing shadows, and smelling sterilization solutions in certain spots. The spirits are restless and have been agitated from all of the visitors they've been receiving. It was built upon a site of about 3,000 graves of civil war and yellow fever victims, from when it was a cemetery in the 1800's. It is now patrolled fairly heavily by the local fire department, which is right next door. Explores/ghost hunters suggest that it not be visited unless you are with a fairly large group that can respect their domain. - !!Warning!! As with any abandoned building, they may be structurally unsound or you can find yourself being robbed as these kids did or much worse. abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/80103_local_teenscare.html - April 2005 Update: The building is currently getting renovated.
- February 2007 Update: This building has been renovated and is now an apartment building.
