Constructed in 1880, this decaying structure originally belonged to a prominent Mineral Wells family. For the next 50 years, the home served as a makeshift hospital.

Looming a mere 125 feet away is the infamous Baker Hotel, commonly regarded as one of Texas' most haunted hotels. Hill House provided a more discreet locale for bootleggers, prostitutes, and gamblers to misbehave.

Several deaths have occurred here over the years, and it is said that the spirits never left. Proof of their presence has been documented by countless paranormal investigation crews, making the house a world renowned haunt.

Both guided tours and overnight investigations are offered. For the latter, you'll hear all about Hill House's tumultuous past while exploring every inch of the property - both inside and out.

Paranormal teams hold frequent overnight lockdowns in which guests can learn all about their investigation techniques and even try out some of the equipment! Alternatively, your group can go it alone and spend the night with zero accompaniment - but we must warn you, the entities are much more active when they sense fear.
