This place looks promising, certainly looks better than the 2Kings Pub.
Just saw this on the Travel Channel.
Hannah, this is down your way isn't it?

If you get down to the part about state of the art ghost hunting equipment(re: K2 meter).


"Among the resident spirits is a man who likes to “flirt” with female guest by touching their knee or shoulder or playing with their long hair"

Really, male ghosts should do something new.  I have read that in so many accounts of "hauntings" in pubs, bars, and restaurants. 

The house is gorgeous, I love Victorian homes.  It is only 150 miles from my house.     

Well, sorta kinda close.

I can't imagine any site being as overloaded with paranormal activity as The Myrtles. The "Inn" might have some inteest but I don't think I would compare the two in the same sentence.

I've heard of this place and it's ghosts in a book about Texas spooks.

The Ye Kendall Inn in Boerne off I-10 North of San Antonio is supposed to be haunted, and I think their website mentions their ghost or ghosts. I'd like to go there just to eat the catfish.

There is also the Alamo Street Theatre in San Antonio, down in the King William area, which was an old german area of San Antonio.It was once a church and is now used as a dinner theatre and has a couple of ghosts.

Just a note about the Myrtles, since I've said it before in my post #40, most of what is purported to have happened there never did occur.  To repeat, only one man was murdered on the premises, there was no Chloe, or slave shack for that matter (which if GH really researched, they would have found it to be a small house built for the owners children), and nobody was poisoned.  The wife died of yellow fever and the children died at least a year later.  Hannah has summed it up very well in post #45.

According to an article I read, the piano does sometimes play on its own and a woman in a bonnet is sometimes seen.  For quantity of possible hauntings, Myrtles slides down the scale quite a bit.  And that famous picture of Chloe?  There was a website that debunked it very well, though I would have to search for a while to find it.  In some photos "Chloe" looks a bit like a shrub, actually.

Those running the Myrtles are not likely to discourage these stories since it does bring in the tourists. 

About the Spalding–the less said the better.  We already had a go round several months ago about that one so no need to rehash it here.

That's actually my neck of the woods- good old Waxahachie, Texas. It's 2 blocks from my house. It does a swift little business especially around Halloween when the paranormal researchers really come out of the woodwork to investigate it. The only paranormal thing I've ever witnessed there is the menu- everything is deep fried. Yikes! ;)
