10 Most Haunted Places in San Antonio

Built in the mid 1700’s, The Spanish Governor’s Palace is as old as San Antonio itself, in fact the deaths resulting in it’s hauntings precede even The Battle of The Alamo. Although the site boasts a famous hanging tree, the hauntings are those of two ladies, both found dead in the drinking well: a little noble girl, who’s body, after falling to her death in the well, was entombed in the bulding’s wall, and a maid, who was thrown in the well after being murdered by marauders. The maid is seen walking the halls at night, and the little girl is often caught jumping on the bed.

Finished construction in 1900, this haunted mansion is well over a century old. It was originally owned by San Antonio’s town physician, who was rumored to be practicing off the books medical procedures in the basement, and was purchased by The Freemasons in the mid 1900’s. The hauntings here are so prevalent, that the Masons has to install motion detectors throughout the house. This way if they here someone crawling around the attic or walking up the basement stares, the detectors will chime if it’s an actual person, and not one of their resident ghosts.
