Texas-Sized Haunts

Everything is bigger in Texas. And this time of year, that means scares, screams, and supernatural sightings.

It’s no surprise that for the second year in a row, Texas boasts two of the top three haunted houses in the United States, as ranked by HauntedHouses.com. 13th Floor in San Antonio tops this year’s list with werewolves and witches, and the House of Torment in Austin trails closely behind with ‘40,000 square feet of torment.’ Both are recommended for fright-seekers only, not the faint of heart.

But most of our state’s spookiest attractions aren’t reserved for October – they’re here all year round, and have been for centuries. You may have heard the tale of the Weeping Woman, La Llorona, who haunts the riverbanks in El Paso, or of sightings of a lantern flickering down Bragg Road in the hand of a decapitated railroad worker searching for his head in Saratoga.
