  Speaker 1: Bridge, Denton goat Man's Bridge, which to me has got

  Speaker 1: to be I mean, one of the scariest.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I would never ever go there at.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: All, and I've been there and it's definitely a place
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: where a lot of people go, and especially tonight, it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: going to be busy.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I mean it's no surprise.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: They say if you knock on that bridge three times,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: goat Man comes out.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Whether that's true or not.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I have definitely gotten the creeps there and have seen
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: things that have been weird. You know that people have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: left behind stuffed animals, religious items.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Also very dark things too.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Was the other side of you know, not godly stuff,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: almost you know, the devil type stuff. Number nine on
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the list was six Flags over Texas, the Ghost of Annie,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Little girl who allegedly drowned in the creek white
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Rock Lake was number eight. Number seven, Baker Hotel, number six,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Texas State Capital, Number five, Flagpole Hill, which is here.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: That one is terrifying. Number four, which was also here,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Majestic Theater.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even know about that one. Get me either.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I knew some things about that, but they say, Carl
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the owner, who you know, created the Majestic Theater, he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: haunts this place. And also a guy who died of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a heart attack in the upper balcony haunts it as well.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You could see their spirits sitting in the theater at
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: all times of the night. Number three was Hotel Galvez
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in Galveston.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Which Jan Dar was haunted. They do ghost just like
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: tours there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That place is so legendary because of things that have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: happened there, many deaths that have occurred there in Galveston.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, with the hurricane back in the day, you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: claimed a lot of lives, a lot of history, a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: lot of death. That's the common theme. Especially with number
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: two on the list, which was the Alamo. How could
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that place not be haunted. I know, like two thousand
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: people and soldiers died there. It's got to be haunted.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They say that's one of the most haunted places. That
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: brings us to number one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: They say, the most haunted place in Texas. Not here.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Where is it?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It's in Austin. I've been there. I've stayed there. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the Driscoll Hotel.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Oh did you scooter past that when we were down there?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think we did and we did. It's I mean.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: A gorgeous hotel, so beautiful. But they say very haunted
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for many different reasons. I'll tell you one of the reasons.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's haunted coming up. But I mean it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: been a hotel. It was open what in eighteen eighty six? Yeah,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a gorgeous building, beautiful, they say. It's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: said to be haunted by several spirits, each with their
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: own story and connection to the property. Among the most
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: famous is the ghost of Colonel Jesse Driscoll, himself, the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hotel's original owner, who is often reported in the lobby
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and the upper floors.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Of the hotel.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Other notable spirits include, and this is the one that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: freaks me out, the spirit of a young girl who
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they say haunts the staircase there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And that's because that's where she died. Oh, it was a.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Tragic accident that happened back in the day, and they
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: say that her her spirit roams the staircase and other
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: places in the hotel. I went there, I stayed there.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I've stayed there once. No, I stayed there twice. One
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: time I thought, you know what, why not let's go
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the stair cases.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: See why why if I feel if.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I feel anything, or you know, or if I see anything,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Because what they say is if you go into the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: staircase at the Drisco Hotel, one of the things two things,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you can often find little toys that are left behind
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: by her. You can also feel sometimes somebody playing with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: your hair. If you're a female, why somebody trying to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: give you pigtails? Or you can also they say hear
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the sound of a bouncing ball, because she played with
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a ball. And I don't know if that's how she
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: met her fate, if she was playing with the ball
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and fell down the stairs. But so many employees say,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you can hear the ball. They find little toys all
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the time. When I was in that staircase, I didn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: feel anything. I don't have a lot of hair to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: play with. But also too, I got a very uncomfortable feeling. Now,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: could that have been just me in a staircase alone
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: because nobody would go there with me? Sure?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Was I going to stay there long and figure it out? No?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, the thing is, they don't say
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: she's an evil spirit. They say she's a youthful spirit
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that's usually happy and playful, and sometimes she'll rearrange things
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in rooms and whatnot. But I guess when paranormal experts
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: went there to the staircase, it was through the roof.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: The activity they said was it was insane, was a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: lot And yeah, that's one of the spirits. The other spirit,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they say, is the legend of a jilted bride, which.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Why is it always a bride? Yeah? Who?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: According to the tale, a heartbroken bride took her own
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: life in the hotel after being abandoned at the altar,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and her spirit is said to remain in the bridal suite.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Guests have reported seeing a woman in a wedding dress
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: wandering the halls, sometimes weeping and appearing distressed, to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: point where other guests have went up to her asking
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: her if she needs help, and then she disappears. Sometimes
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: people from rooms all over the hotel have called the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: front desk because they hear.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Person weeping and crying.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: They've called the front desk and been like, hey, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, but there's someone crying. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: just don't know where it's coming from. And they say, oh, okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: thank you. We get this call all the time.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Let's check out. Yeah, I'm out. I'm gonna go ahead
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and head out. Now there you go, the most haunted place.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a little spooky adventure, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Drisco Hotel in Austin, they say, is the number one spot.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I'll do today.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: At some point, I'm gonna give you a full countdown
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of all the spots so you can recap it yourself.
