If you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate Halloween, check out one of Texas’s haunted hotels. The folks over at BedandBreakfast.com have issued their annual press release on haunted hotels and B&Bs throughout the country; don’t miss these in Texas:
1888 Linburg House, Goliad, TX: Friendly spirits dwell here but only appear when there’s a wedding involved. Sightings have included an older woman in a white nightgown with long gray hair and a bearded man with long gray hair in a three-piece suit. In all cases, these friendly spirits appeared before those involved in the wedding party. Photos of the Linburg family, original owners and namesakes of the B&B, show striking similarities to the apparitions described by guests. Info: 1-866-LINBURG.
Prince Solms Inn Bed & Breakfast, New Braunfels, TX: In the early 1900s, a young women clad in a lacy wedding dress waited for her husband to arrive for their wedding at this inn. He did not appear, and despite a thorough search, he was deemed to have disappeared. The woman vowed to reside at the inn until he came and stayed on the staff for the next 20 years until her death in the late 1920s, still awaiting her true love. In 1930, a man arrived by horseback in search of a woman, and when he climbed the stairs to find her, innkeepers reported seeing the woman waiting in her wedding dress. The couple embraced then slowly disappeared. No one ever came to claim his horse, tied to the hitching post. Since then, there have been numerous sightings of a woman in her wedding dress.
