This Candlelight Ghost Tour In A Small Texas Town Is Hauntingly Charming
Halloween is less than two weeks away, so it’s time to pick a few final attractions and end spooky season on a high note. Jefferson is considered by many to be the most haunted town in Texas, and this walking ghost tour takes you to all of its most infamous spots for paranormal activity.
Stop by the old-fashioned general store for a mug of hot cocoa, and get ready for a night full of thrills, chills, and a history lesson even the biggest skeptics will be intrigued by.

This is a century-old photo of Jefferson Hotel, one of the town's most infamous places. You'll walk right past it as well as numerous other buildings notorious for paranormal activity while listening to stories of tragedy responsible for the inordinate amount of ghostly encounters.
You can purchase tickets in person beginning at 7:30 or pre-order online. While the event is held year-round, it's ten times more fun right before Halloween! Plus, everyone knows October is prime time to come face-to-face with ghouls and goblins.
It'll still be visible when the weekend rolls around, so you can bask in its glory while enjoying one last pre-holiday haunt. They say more ghosts come out of the woodwork during full moons.
Old Mill Antique Store, rumored to be the most "active" site in Jefferson, welcomes tour participants with open arms. Many have reported seeing apparitions or hearing disembodied voices here, so stay on your toes!
The information Jodi has gathered took years of extensive research, so it isn't readily available on the Internet. The tour provides an exclusive opportunity for us common folk to dive into the rich, intriguing, and eerie past of this old town.
Serving East Texas since the 1870s, this gem is a portal back to simpler times. Five cent coffee, a soda fountain, homemade pecan pralines, Blue Bell, and plenty of other old-fashioned goodies add some lightheartedness to an otherwise emotionally taxing evening.
Wander through rows of headstones in pitch darkness and try to determine whether that noise you hear is rustling leaves or a spectral whisper.
A knowledgeable guide + entrance into historic buildings is the best recipe for making every hair on your body stand at attention (and seeing some inexplicable phenomena!), and Historic Jefferson Ghost Walk checks all the boxes.
