We used to sneak out to home of the murdered Sunnyville Mayor. He was brutally murdered in his home and it sat for years abandoned. That place was freaky as hell at night. Everybody always said it was haunted, but of course we never seen anything.

Arlington - River Legacy Park -

Walking on a narrow path away from hell's gate you will see what was once a clearing. Reports of moaning and a red hair haired general clad in a Confederate uniform.


Arlington - River Legacy Park - Hells Gate -

It is a long trail with swamps on either side and shaded over by large trees. At the end of the trail is a large mound of dirt and two fence posts that were once a gate. As it is said this was the trail walked by captured spies of the union army on there way to be hung. This gate was the last thing they saw before being led to the tree that stands beyond the gate where they died. Walking the trail one can still hear the sobs and whispered prayers of the men and some women who walked there last steps here.


Arlington - River Legacy Park -

Screaming Bridge One night after a high school football game a carload of kids were driving fast on a country road just outside of the park. Coming to a narrow bridge over the Trinity River they met their fate when they did not see another car coming hitting it head on. Both cars erupted into flames and plummeted into the river below. All involved were killed and since then the road has been closed and can only be walked to through the park. Legend has it that if you find the bridge you will see the dates of the occurrence and the names of the deceased glowing as tombstones in the water and if after that you still dare you can sit in the middle of the bridge on the night that it happened and at midnight you will witness a heavy fog coming up from the river as you see headlights approaching from either side of the bridge.


Arlington - River Legacy Park -

The Hobo Near the park are some railroad tracks that run through an area called Mosier Valley so the park is a good getting off place for the train hoppers since the train has to slow down here. One night an old hobo was staying in the park and was awoken by the sounds of screams. Wondering to the edge of the woods from where he had been sleeping he saw a car parked and what appeared to be a man and a woman fighting. Walking closer he saw the man hitting the woman and the woman knocked unconscious. Opening the door he grabbed the man but in the struggle that ensued was shot. The next day the woman was found wondering through the park delirious and half naked but the hobo laid dead next to where the car had been. However, lovers parked late at night still catch a glimpse of the old hobo. Legend has it that late at night if you are still in the park after closing you will hear a tap on your window and there will be an old man standing there in rags.


Arlington - Six Flags Over Texas -

In the Texas section next to the entrance of the "Texas Giant" is a yellow candy store. It is the oldest building in the park. It was said that in the early 1900's a young girl (8 or so) drowned in Johnsons Creek. She supposedly can be seen walking the railroad tracks or in her room in the yellow house turning the light on and off or opening the curtain and then closing it. Security guards at night also have problems locking the upstairs door because "ANNIE" feels playful.

This Restaurant is haunted by past residents named Eliza Richards, who died at age 77 in 1925, and her son Jesse Thomas Richards, who died at age 68 in 1937. Eliza is the "Elizabeth" Her spirit appears as her younger self, a girl of about 19, the age she was at her first marriage, a happier time for her. It is how she projects herself now, from memory. The "old farmer, Will" is her son J.T. Richards, who was the local meat cutter and grocer from the early 1900s until his death in 1937. The third ghost, Carrie, has been correctly identified. Caroline Jenkins Mooney lived in the house from the 1950s until her death in 1970. Waitresses and customers are always reporting strange things that happen--rude patrons having plates dumped on them, cold spots in the bathroom. Pictures have been taken that show a slender young woman in outline form. One is a farmer, one is an old woman who lived there, and one is a young girl who was murdered on her wedding day in the house. Supposedly a burglar attempted to burglarize the safe one night and seemed to leave in a hurry.

I've known about the shadowlands for years. Pretty cool stuff. And yes in mineral wells the bake hotel is there in downtown. Pretty impressive looking and has alot of history. Every halloween you can pay to stay the night in it. Most peeps only are able to stand it for a few hours before they leave. There is also an abandoned hospital out near the still active military base just off the main road that goes through town. Went there with a few friends last year at night. While walking up to the doors of it we heard something slam..so while shitting ourselves, we ran back to the car and took off back home to Ft Worth. Lol that was enough for us. But theshadowlands.com has alot of badass sighting and info for Texas and states across the US so check it out.

Thanks for all of the responses I'm interested in checking 1-2 of those places out but as of right now I just got an email back from the Bakers Hotel in Mineral Wells and they told me I'd have to call the city and get permission.
