Ghost Tour

This Friday we visited 4 places. All were supposedly haunted by ghosts and stuff. The places we went to were a haunted abandoned hospital now a apartment complex. The hospital was called Jefferson Davis hospital and was built over a cemetery. People who were buried in the cemetery most likely died from the Yellow Fever epidemic that came over in the 1800s. We talked to a lady who lived there. She said that she didn't believe the place was haunted but that they don't dig around the grounds in the apartment complex because there is most likely bodies that are still underground. Although we couldn't go inside the complex it was still cool to see the buildings and learn about there history.

The second place we went to was an old tree located somewhere in downtown Houston I think. This tree is called "Hanging Tree". Some people were hung from the tree but that's not what it's known for. Back in the day when they had the jailhouse next to it families who had relatives on death row stood under the tree to wait for the news that there loved one had been executed.

The third place we went to was the Spaghetti Warehouse. It was located near the University of Houston Downtown campus. This building was originally a warehouse back in the day. But then they turned it into a restaurant. Back in the day the manager of the restaurant accidentally fell down the open elevator shaft at the back of the building and broke his neck. His wife died 6 months later from all of her grief. The building it's self is really cool looking and I would love to live in it if it wasn't for the ghosts. The whole area had a creepy feel to it. We ate on the second floor and that is the most haunted part of it.

The last place we went to was optional. It was an old abandoned crypt that belonged to the Donnellan family. It's located under a bridge and was hard to access so that's why it was optional. This place was really cool and the history behind it was interesting as well.
