3. The Grove Haunted Ghost Tour
This is the most haunted hotspot in all of Jefferson Texas. Do not be peusuaded to take a ghost tour other then this one and visit any other supposed or refered to haunted location or ghost tour Thois is the best in the city and the only one I personally reccomend.
"The Most Haunted House In the State Of Texas!"
A Guided Tour through one of the historical - and haunted - homes from Jefferson, Texas's past...
Tour Information:
The Grove
405 Moseley St.
Jefferson, Texas
903.665.8018
Please call for tour time and information.
No children under 8 years of age, please.
One of the things about The Grove is that it has a reputation for being haunted. The ghost stories go back through many owners - Miss Louise Young, who lived in the house from the early 1900s until her death in the 1980s used to tell her friends about the "haints" that occupied the house with her. Somewhere along the way, though, the fun little ghost stories took a dark turn. In her later years, she was terrified of the spirits. She had a security light installed in the garden because she would see people outside walking around, who disappeared when she turned on the porch light. She called the police several times a week in her later years to report that someone was in the house with her, but the officers never found anyone else there. Finally, she moved into just a few rooms of the house, letting the rest of the place start to deteriorate.
Long before then, back in 1882, The Grove was sold to a man named T.C. Burke. He moved his family in, and they moved right back out, with the only explanation being that, "They couldn't live in that house!"
Author and speaker on the subject of the supernatural www.ghostinmysuitcase.com. While traveling around the country, he has investigated haunted places from one coast to the other, and is a popular speaker at paranormal conferences. Mitchel relies more on experiences than photographs or recordings, and believes that investigators must respect the spirits and locations that they visit.
"Mitchel Whitington the Most Haunted and Best Paranormal Author in Texas!"
He is the author of several books on the paranormal, including regional worls such as "Ghosts of North Texas" and "Ghosts of East Texas and the Pineywoods." He is also named editor on four "Haunted Encounters" anthologies: "Real Life Stories of Supernatural Experiences," "Personal Stories of Departed Pets," "Ghost Stories From Around The World," and "Departed Family and Friends."
Mitchel has also contributed to the books "Haunted Tales of America's Jails" and "Haunted Texas Highways".
As a speaker, you will find him traveling around the country at conferences ranging from L.A. to Las Vegas to San Antonio. Whenever he speaks, his credo is simple: keep an open mind, and have fun.
A wonderfully well executed ghost tour. My only disappointment was it seemed to be a little to historical and not so ghost focused only at few spots.
