Real Haunted Places

When the scares aren’t real enough at haunted houses, it’s time to check out some truly haunted places and Fort Worth has plenty to offer.

Miss Molly’s Hotel

Miss Molly’s Hotel has been many things over the centuries—a prim and proper boarding house, a popular bordello, Fort Worth’s oldest bed and breakfast…and one of the most haunted places in Fort Worth. Featured on Discovery Channel’s Ghost Lab and investigated by the Texas Paranormal Research Team, the place is a paranormal hotspot. Many guests have claimed to experience spirit sightings (including full-body apparitions), mysterious smells, lights turning off and on, and toilets flushing on their own.

If you dare, book a night at this hotel. Maybe you’ll even see its most popular ghost Jake the Cowboy.

Price $175+ per night

Stockyards Hotel

The Stockyards Hotel is haunted by cowboys and outlaws, making it one of the more haunted places in Fort Worth. The reasoning behind this is pretty grim. Over the decades, the hotel has experienced multiple suicides, murders and criminal activity. It was even home to infamous criminals Bonnie and Clyde at one point.

Though much of that is a thing of the past, the past still haunts the historical landmark. Water, TVs and radios have been turned off and on, and employees have received strange phone calls. According to visitors, figures have been seen roaming the halls, stepping off of the elevator and even, climbing into bed with guests.

Price $179+ per night

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse

Who would have guessed that a steakhouse would be one of the most haunted experiences in Fort Worth? Located in downtown, the steakhouse serves up prime steaks and seafood along with fine wine…and some ghosts. Formerly, the restaurant was a bathhouse and once occupied the site of Hell’s Half Acre precinct.

A gambling man was murdered in the building and is one of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle’s more well-known entities. Guests claim to have witnesses his shadowy figure in the banquet halls and upstairs bar, hear his footsteps or feel a tap on their shoulder.
