Where is the creepiest town in Texas?

If you asked 10 Texans what the creepiest town in Texas is, you’d get 10 different answers. One of the most creepy towns in Texas is Marfa, a city in the high desert in West Texas. This tiny town has less than 2,000 residents, but people come from all over the world to visit Marfa and experience the phenomenon known as the “Marfa Lights.” These strange lights seem to have a mind of their own, dancing around without a clear pattern, splitting apart, disappearing, and reappearing without notice.

What are the creepiest cemeteries in Texas?

Cemeteries in general are a little creepy, but some are certainly more creepy than others. The Lubbock Cemetery has the reputation of being one of the most haunted cemeteries in Texas, and paranormal investigators have spent countless nights investigating this paranormal hotspot. In addition to the more than 60,000 graves in the cemetery, it’s believed that there are several angry spirits that haunt the area, including one that seems to be the gatekeeper. As the legend goes, there’s an angel tower near Buddy Holly’s grave and if you visit the cemetery at night and try to leave without kidding the angel’s feet, an evil spirit will stop you from leaving the cemetery.

Are there haunted battlefields in Texas?

One of the most famous battlefields in Texas also might just be the most haunted, and that honor goes to The Alamo. Before the famous battle, the site was once the town’s cemetery, so add that to the thousands of deaths from the battle, and you’ve got yourself the perfect paranormal recipe. One of the most reported spirits at the Alamo is that of a little boy with blond hair, who is often seen in the upper left window at the gift shop. He’s most often sighted in February, which is then the battle occurred so many believe he lived in the area during the battle.
