Ghosts of Houston, Texas
and vicinity

Glenwood Cemetery (a Washington Ave. Cemetery)
An early investigation of this cemetery shows good EMF readings but no daytime orbs.
Woodlawn Cemetery (across the street from IKEA)
 |
Woodlawn is a charming, mostly modern cemetery, privately
owned and managed by a Houston family.
Generally, this location is not suited to ghost hunting. It is carefully maintained, with gates that close at night,
and security cameras watching the property.
However, for daytime (and respectful) explorations, we found some good (albeit brief) EMF recorded as 40+ degree
compass swings, in the vicinity of the matching military headstones.
If you're using a compass, be sure to rule out interference from metal pipes and grave markers. |
Alief Cemetery (at the corner of Bellaire and Dairy Ashford)
This cemetery is NOT recommended for investigations at this time, due to its location. See our report for additional information.
Patterson Road - Page 1: Langham Creek bridge -
Page 2: Bear Creek bridge
Bear Creek bridge is a more likely site for the legendary tapping, but we found good compass anomalies at Langham Creek bridge.
A year later, both bridges seemed haunted:

Langham Creek Bridge - May 2006
Bear Creek Park - Bordered by Patterson Road and Highway 6, Bear Creek Park is a popular park for hiking, riding,
picnics, and--at the nearby fields--sporting events. Bear Creek Park is also the site of one of Houston's most
famous "blue light" cemeteries.
We weren't planning to get any orbs with a quick, last-minute photo in the park, but we did anyway. See it at
A 'Ghost Orb' at Bear Creek Park, Houston, Texas
During our return visit in May 2006, we saw little evidence of hauntings at nearby
Addicks Bear Creek Methodist Cemetery.
More Haunted cemeteries
near Bear Creek Park include Ghosts of Beeler Cemetery, Houston, TX.
Old Greenhouse Road
Possibly haunted, but the existing tale is an urban legend that appears near most big cities. Great orbs, but
not much else.
Also see Possible ectoplasm at Old Greenhouse Road.
The West Oaks Walker (or "West Oaks Phantom") appears on
Richmond near Westheimer.
A reader reports that there is a haunted house in back of the zoo. It's a white house
with a black fence, surrounded by a moat. We're noting this for further investigation, since we haven't
heard other reports of this.
KATY, TEXAS
25 miles west of downtown Houston, this peaceful town features remarkable orbs.
See Ghosts of Old Town Katy, TX for
our two-part initial investigation. We're the first to report ghosts at the depot.
Our first follow-up visit didn't produce good photos, but our impressions were vivid. Read
more about the
Ghosts of the Katy, Texas Train Depot.
Romantic Ghosts at the Katy Depot manifested
as twin orbs in several locations on January 2nd, 2006.
We also captured more vivid orbs and
a great "jack-o-lantern" orb nearby, at
Ghost Orbs in Katy, TX (1/06).
SPRING, TEXAS
About a half an hour north of Houston, the town of Spring (and vicinity) offers considerable
paranormal activity.
See Ghost Hunting in Spring, Texas and vicinity - page one
and page two.
UNIDENTIFIED SITES
Sometimes we check locations that are only mildly haunted. Or, they're on
private property or otherwise restricted. Here are a few:
Ghost Orbs at Cemetery #1 with just a few,
very faint orbs. This is less activity than you'd find at most significantly haunted sites.
