What are the most haunted hotels in Texas?

If you're looking for haunted houses to stay at in Texas, why not check into one of the notoriously haunted hotels in Texas? There are so many "good" haunted hotels in Texas for ghost hunters, offering visitors the unique opportunity to catch a glimpse of a ghost or have a paranormal encounter. Some of the best places to have a ghost sighting include the Baker Hotel (also in Mineral Wells), the Jefferson Hotel, The Excelsior House Hotel, Hotel Galvez in Galveston, and a trio of San Antonio hotels: the Sheraton Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, the Menger Hotel, and Emily Morgan Hotel. In fact, with regard to the Emily Morgan, before becoming a hotel, the property was an advanced medical arts facility, which included a hospital, surgical floors, and a crematorium. Guests report phones ringing with no one on the other end, lights coming on and off arbitrarily, and a woman in white appearing and disappearing in almost the same glance, leading many to believe this is the most haunted hotel in Texas. What do you think?
