So, I am going to be posting about a lot of different places, but tonight I am going to start off with just two really cool places I think you guys will like a lot and I don't think you would be disappointed in the "ghostly" activity. I will be posting more in the future. I have just been to SO MANY really cool places it's hard talk about them all in one night.
1st- One of my FAVORITE places ever....great pics(orbs, mist, ect) and lots of paranormal activity is...of course....The Alamo in San Antonio Tx.
Originally named Mission San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly seventy years. Construction began on the present site in 1724. In 1793, Spanish officials secularized San Antonio's five missions and distributed their lands to remaining Indian residents. A small band of Texans held out for thirteen days against the Centralist army of General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although the Alamo finally fell in the early morning hours of March 6, 1836.
As with any battle ground, there are lots of spirits that remain behind...for so many different reasons. Some because they died so tragically that they don't even realize they are dead, some because they knew this place as home and don't want to leave, some because maybe they feel they have "unfinished" business...such as the battle itself....maybe they are still "battling". Who knows? The one thing I can tell you is that there is so much to see and do around the Alamo, you need MORE than just one night. Reports of soldiers, canons, cries, guns and many more sounds are found here. And Pics.....Some of my most interesting and favorite photos are from the Alamo.
So, pack up the EMF meters, K-2's and your camera and head to San Antonio for the weekend.
2nd- As long as your at the Alamo, DO NOT miss the opportunity to go to the Menger Hotel right next door.
The Menger is located adjacent to the Alamo and first opened in 1859, just 23 years after the battle at the Alamo, by owner William Menger and architect John Fries.

| One of my FAVORITE all time photos! A solider standing in front of the Alamo. We could not see him at the time, but the girl to the right was actually there. |
The Menger is located adjacent to the Alamo and first opened in 1859, just 23 years after the battle at the Alamo, by owner William Menger and architect John Fries.
Down through the years such
personalities such as Theodore Roosevelt, Babe Ruth, Sidney Lanier, Mae West,
Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and Sarah Bernhardt stayed there, some more
than once. Ask any employee or regular visitor to
the Menger and chances are good you'll hear about more than one ghostly encounter that takes place here.
For me, I LOVE this place!!! I wrote my first paranormal paper on this hotel. I had soooo many experiences here....footsteps walking up behind me when no one was there, voices, the elevator opening and closing on its own...and even a photo with a picture of a face in the courtyard, I believe to be Guston Borlum the sculpture of Mount Rushmore. DON'T pass this one up!!!
