Sam Houston State University
Coordinates:
Location Address: Huntsville, Texas
Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas was established in 1879, and is believed to be haunted by a number of spirits and apparitions throughout it's 272-acre campus. Austin Hall was constructed in 1851 as Austin College, and is said to be haunted by the ghost of an unidentified woman who is allegedly seen wandering the hallways of the building's 3rd floor, or staring down at passersby from the windows above. Constructed between 1901 and 1902, the Peabody Memorial Library is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman wearing a long, black dress, believed to be a former professor or librarian who passed away. Students and faculty members at the Evans Complex also report hearing the sounds of disembodied voices, laughter, and applause. Several other locations at Sam Houston State University are also rumored to be haunted, such as Belvin-Buchannan Hall where stories tell of a female student who committed suicide, and Elliott Hall which is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman who was murdered. Despite these claims, however, most are dismissed as being nothing more than urban legends. Lastly, the Sam Houston Memorial Museum which is located on Sam Houston State University's campus is said to be haunted by the late General Sam Houston, who died of pneumonia at the location in 1863, and whose ghostly figure is allegedly seen and heard throughout the old buildings late at night. Additional research for this allegedly haunted location is currently in progress.
