WHAT MAKES JEFFERSON TEXAS SO HAUNTED?

There are many reasons why this town is known to be haunted, and according to this article from Austin Ghost, here are some of the reasons.

1) HAUNTED HOTELS IN JEFFERSON

Can't be the most haunted town in Texas if your hotels are not haunted. The Jefferson Hotel is haunted by a man in a trench coat and The Excelsior House Hotel is the oldest hotel in Jefferson since the 1850s. Supposedly, the Excelsior House Hotel,  has a headless spirit on the 2nd floor.

2) HAUNTED HOUSES IN JEFFERSON - THE GROVE

If you gonna have haunted hotels in Jefferson that you probably going to have to have Haunted Houses. According to Austin Ghost...

Then there’s The Grove, a historic Victorian home that’s often called the most haunted house in the state. The former residents claimed shadow people were always walking around on the property, and would disappear upon turning on the lights.

According to Ghost of the Grove website....

  • Heavy mirrors have fallen off the wall without explanation
  • A renter who lived there once saw a little girl playing out among the flowers. When he went outside, she looked at him and disappeared.
  • Lights go on and off in the house, and the chandeliers have been known to sway

3) HISTORIC JEFFERSON GHOST WALK

You know the town you are visiting is HAUNTED when they have a GHOST WALK TOUR available.  The city of Jefferson offers 2 different tours. The GHOST WALK Tour is a very popular tour. It happens every Friday and Saturday night.

Here is what Mike had to say about the tour on trip advisor...

I recommend purchasing tickets online for this. Highlights of the walk: The Jefferson Hotel. Talk about a creepy hotel. The hotel owner allowed us access to the hallways and sneak peeks into some rooms. The Doll Room is where nightmares are made. He even showed us security cam videos of actual "ghosts" in the hotel and of dolls moving unexplainably. Hearing stories of all the murders in Jefferson history was also fascinating.
