Top 10 Terrifying Texas Urban Legends

Coming in at number nine we have the  candy lady who loves candy I love candy  get me a dip and dab and a strawberry  lace what do we have to say the candy  Lady of Texas is enough to make me give  up caramels for life which is a shame  because caramel's such a dream so the  candy lady is said to have been a woman  called Clara crane she lived in Texas  around the turn of the 20th century she  was said to have been married to an  older man and the pair Had A Child  Called Marcella sadly Marcella was  killed in a freak accident and Clara  blamed her husband and then went mad  reportedly killing him with poisoned  caramel she was then taken to North  Texas Lunatic Asylum but released a few  years later this is when candy started  showing up on windowsills luring in kids  later a number of kids across the state  went missing and one farmer was said to  have found rotten children's teeth in a  caramel wrapper on his land the most urban legend goes that the candy lady will  start by leaving a kid candy to win  their trust then she'll abduct them and  stab them with a fork I shouldn't laugh  but Forks are kind of like the comedy  side of utensils right from Candy lady  to donkey lady at number eight donkey  lady now I've heard it all apparently Ye  Old donkey lady haunts a bridge over Elm  Creek in San Antonio Texas the origin  story of the ghost dates back almost 200  years to the mid-1800s when settlers  were living on the banks of Elm Creek a  husband and wife had a small wooden  Farmhouse and were making a living with  a small number of livestock one day one  of their donkeys or mules was grazing in  the area when a young man from the town  came across it this man was not a nice  man but he was a wealthy man he was the  son of an important Town leader the  young man teased the donkey and hit it  with a stick to which the donkey fairly  responded 


by biting him I'd bite someone  if they hit me with a stick too  retaliating the man started heavily  beating the donkey hearing them you're  being attacked the couple emerged and  told the man to get away throwing rocks  at him for hurting their valuable animal  the man had a bit of Prince Joffrey  entitlement moment and he screamed that  his father would hear about this and to  be honest hear about it he did he  brought a bunch of friends to The  Farmhouse to torch the place when the  husband intervened he was shot as were  his sons the wife's dress caught fire  and she helplessly watched her loved  ones die as she was engulfed in flames  she screamed running down the road she  began to burn as she threw herself into  the creek her body was never found but  her whales are said to still be heard  along the stretch of the road if a car  stops for too long it is said that she  appears screaming with her arms  outstretched on the bridge some even  report a body falling on the Bonnet of  the car but when they stop there's  nothing there coming into number six we  have the white lady of Rio Frio so the  Frio River is a beautiful spot near Rio  Frio in Texas on a summer's day you may  see picnickers hanging out by the water  enjoying the weather but some say  they've had a far spookier experience  many people that visit the Frio River  have reported a strange white Mist  hovering over the water some say it's a  strange micro climate but others cite  the story of the lady of Freya The Story  Goes that back in the 1900s a young girl  called Maria Juarez was the prettiest  girl in the canyon she was young and had  an elder sister whom she loved deeply  her sister had children with a man  called Gregorio who unfortunately cared  more about Maria than a sister-in-law  Maria helped raise their sister's  children and dreamed that someday she  would meet someone marry them and have  kids of her very own she thought all of  her dreams had come true when she met  Anselmo a Dashing Young man who seemed  to return her affections sadly this  angered Gregorio who told Maria that he  loved her and wanted to be with her when  she rebuffed him because of her sister  and Anselmo he shot her through the  heart by the lake now her spirit is said  to haunt the spot to this day adding a  level of legitimacy to the story there  is an unmarked grave in a Frio Cemetery  said to belong to Maria the white lady  who died an unmarried virgin coming into  number five we have El muato the El  muato tale is truly terrifying back  during the Gold Rush era people thought  that there was gold to be found in Texas  on top of that the USA Mexico border was  hotly contested around this area with an  area of no man's land between the two  countries in this area Bandits were Rife  and Texas Rangers were around to keep  them in check one Ranger William Bigfoot  Wallace wanted to teach the bandits a  lesson after one persistent criminal  known simply as of a doll stole a bunch  of Mustang horses when he was in court  Bigfoot Wallace and his ranger friends  chopped off a dal's head sat his body on  a horse attached his hands to the reins  and strung his head to the saddle this  was supposed to teach other would-be  Bandits a lesson not to mess with the  Texas Rangers some poor sword then had  to deal with finding the horse and its  deceased cargo which would be absolutely  awful despite eventually being taken  down from the horse Legend has it that  Vidal rides on through the Rio Grande  area today and his ghost is dubbed as El  morto coming into number four we have  the dancing devil of el cameroncito a  dancing Texas urban legend I am so down  for this apparently the dancing devil is  local only to El cameroncito so ladies  of other towns no worries if a man is  asking you to dance you're probably safe  ladies and Cameron Cito though watch out  so basically a legend has it that in the  1970s a man in a Dapper suit would ask  beautiful ladies to dance with him while  they didn't find him beautiful they felt  compelled to dance as he danced women  would be swept up one day a woman  noticed the man she was dancing with had  hooves for feet and that everyone near  them was staring in horror realizing she  was dancing with the devil she ran away  the devil however remained now I always  keep my demons in my dancing shoes  coming into number three we have goat  man goat man goat man goat man goat man  fun to say fun to talk about there are a  couple of Legends surrounding the goat  man of old Alton Bridge in Denton County  the bridge is locally dubbed goatman's  bridge and some say that is because  there is a goat like demons that haunts  the nearby Forest but others turn to a  more elaborate tale of a local goat  farmer Oscar Washburn was a black goat  farmer who was known for being an honest  businessman and he was a well-liked  member of the community unfortunately a  successful black man caught the  attention of the cake KK who is said to  have abducted him in August 1938.  reportedly they tied a noose around his  neck and threw him over the old Alton  Bridge into the river below when they  went to bring up his body they found  that the Noose was empty frustrated the  clan went to his house and slaughtered  his wife and children washburn's body  was never found but a lot of paranormal  enthusiasts will tell you that if you  drive out over the bridge at night  without your headlights on the old goat  man will be standing on the other side  to greet you some also report being  touched or grabbed by a spirit and  others say there are weird flashing  lights in the nearby Forest coming into  number two we have the ghost of Fort  Phantom Hill Fort Phantom is one of the  most well preserved historic sites in  Texas with original architecture dating  back to the mid-1850s Fort Phantom was  built as a safe stop for immigrants  headed to the Californian Gold Fields  this story behind the name of Phantom  Hill seems to be twofold on the one hand  the fort is said to look really high up  on a plateau from afar but when you get  close it looks level so it disappears  like a phantom the other story is that  one night while a century was keeping  watch he fired on a Native American who  was on the hill when he went to go and  investigate he didn't find a body when  the team at the whole Fort went out to  look for a band of natives they couldn't  find any evidence of them ever being  nearby this ghost on the hill is said to  re-emerge every now and then confusing  those 


who watch from The Garrison  finally coming into number one we have  one of the most well-known Texas urban legends ever we have the Houston Batman  so first I was like Batman hell yes get  me there but then I delved further into  this Legend and I realized that they  don't mean like the superhero no no no  the Houston Batman is also known as the  Houston horror and is a winged creature  that has regularly been sighted in  Houston Texas now this creature is a bit  like the Mothman of the Mothman  Prophecies and I like a big moth the  story of the winged Menace dates back to  1953 when a woman and her neighbors were  sitting on their porch in East 3rd  Street Houston 23 year old housewife  Hilda Walker said she looked up over the  lawn and saw the shadow of a huge moth  when she looked up she saw something  huge then fly into a pecan tree her and  her neighbors thought that the monster  was around six and a half feet tall  although they weren't totally sure what  they'd seen fourteen-year-old Judy Mayer  Who was also sat on the porch screamed  in fear as she got a square on look at  the monster he was described as a man  but with wings huge huge wings and a  weird strange yellow haze around him Mrs  Walker reported the instance the police  and spoke to local news outlets the  Batman slash Mothman may have been  spotted once again by Houston Bellaire  Theater workers in the 1990s and the  legend lives on today some suspect a  government cover-up is at play as  Vigilantes seeking the Batman discovered  that some years after the initial  incident Mrs Walker's neighborhood was  raised to make way for a new part of the  interstate alright coming in at number  10 we have lechuza oh I love a good owl  but this one is not your average Mouse  catcher lechuza is a shape-shifting  witch who flies through the nighttime  hunting for prey while in Flight she may  look like an owl when a lechuza is  stopped they have bird bodies and human  faces so basically a lot like a harpy  the women seem to be hybrid monsters as  in their human lives they were said to  have sold their soul to the devil who  gave them intense magical powers in  exchange for their souls how do you know  you're in the presence of a lechuza well  they'll let you know by a series of  whistling and baby noises those who try  and investigate what the noises are will  likely become dinner for the hourly she  witches not great coming in at number  nine we have the chupacabra ah the  legend of the chupacabra this one isn't  constricted to Texas alone the  chupacabra story first sprang up in  Puerto Rico it is said to be a  blood-sucking monster from the deep that  attacks animals and drinks the blood of  livestock especially goats which is why  the creature's name translates to goat  sucker in Spanish anyway in Texas  reports that the chupacabra were Rife in  the Year 2007 when a woman named Phyllis  Canyon reported seeing one of the  blood-sucking monsters at her Ranch in  South Texas she also reportedly found a  number of chickens with their throats  torn open this sparked a whole  chupacabra panic and the legend of the  Beast was firmly Consolidated in the  Lone Star State law coming into number  eight we had the Chinese Cemetery there  is a strange urban legend surrounding a  seven foot tall ghost and her lover at  The Loner China Cemetery in Texas this  isn't just your classic ghost haunting  in a graveyard except actually I guess  it is only there's a freakishly tall  ghost hmm The Story Goes that a man  wanted to run away with his lover of  Chinese descent but he was forbade by  his great-grandfather who owned the  cemetery the issue here was an issue of  race the man was anglo-hispanic but his  Grandy didn't want him mixing I bet that  old racist isn't pleased the cemetery is  now called the Chinese Cemetery hey  anyway both the ghost of the tall woman  and the man are said to roam the  cemetery at night looking for one  another but sadly they never quite meet  which is pretty depressing apparently  the female has been known to reach out  and touch you thinking that you might be  the Lost Love since Shivers up my spine  coming in at number seven we have the  legend of [ __ ] Mansion not the most  politically correct name but it seems  that [ __ ] Mansion is the name this  urban legend is best known by in San  Antonio it seems that the house in  question is a mansion with low hanging  fixtures and ceilings custom built for a  family of small people a husband and a  wife and their normal-sized children  took up residency in this home the  father was said to be a respected  businessman in the 1920s and was well  liked in the community who found him to  be a novel addition it seems sadly the  man went mad one day and murdered his  entire family well with the murders and  the odd size of the home nobody really  wanted to buy it so it fell into  disrepair it seems that the ghostly  sounds emanating from the building and  strange Shadows lurked for many many  years a lot of people who went to the  abandoned house fell a malicious  presence from my research it seems that  the old house has finally been pulled  down in favor of condos however the  ghostly presence the trauma of the  family Left Behind is apparently still  Rife and folklore coming into number six  we have El Cucuy am I saying this right  Texas let me know because I'm just a  humble British gal who has no idea  really so these urban legends come  around so much I honestly feel like in  every country and within that a lot of  provinces and states have their own  version El Kakui is a Texan bogeyman but  worse apparently now the legend  describes the Beast as male small  humanoid with glowing red eyes alkakui  hides in closets and under beds and  comes for naughty children in the night  while this does seem like a classic  Boogeyman stuff it seems that there have  been some reported sightings of el Kakui  over the years now this leads me to  think that actually maybe there is  something more to this urban legend  after all coming into number three we  have demons Road it just isn't an  Urban's legend video without spooky  haunted road is it no it's not in  Huntsville Texas 


there is a stretch of  road called Bowden Road although locals  will tell you that it's called demons  Road why more because of the demonic  things have reportedly happened along it  oh and there's a cemetery at the end of  the road which doesn't really help  matters a whole bunch of Huntsville  residents have had weird experiences  along the road or seen strange things  but this isn't just your average haunted  road it seems that oftentimes specters  will follow people home one popular  story associated with demons road is  that a woman was visiting this Cemetery  at the end of the road when she saw a  man lurking now the man was acting a bit  weirdly he was pacing up and down but  she didn't pay him much attention after  that as she was journeying home she  thought she saw the same man walking on  the road but once again she just ignored  it when she got home however she thought  she saw the same man staring at her from  her bathroom mirror while she was in the  shower she screamed he disappeared  appeared and she never saw him again  creepy number eight theater center this  would make horror movies so much better  I imagine you get to watch a movie about  ghosts in a place that's actually  haunted by ghosts amazing the theater  center is apparently haunted by the  ghost of an usher thusher was killed in  the theater by a jealous boyfriend when  he was stabbed on the bright side this  would mean you would get free movies for  eternity I mean there's way worse places  you could die imagine if you died in a  paint store and then you had to haunt  this place for the rest of time the most  exciting part of your day would be when  they bring in the new fall colors wow  there's 11 shades of brown exciting  number seven Civil War ghost I guess the  benefits of being a ghost after a war is  you get to see how everything happened  you're either like I can't believe 


what  the world has come to or you're like man  I was really the bad guy this whole time  over on the Thompson Island Bridge in  San Marcos Texas a Civil War ghost is  taken post and he will never leave the  backstory on this ghoulie is he pops up  whenever a war is happening so for  America that means this guy's working  overtime also it said he can't leave  because he made a promise to his brother  that he'll make it home alive no matter  what I think it's time this guy took an  l and just moved on to the afterlife  number five Marfa lights we're jetting  over to the little town of Marfa Texas  in this little Old Country Town there's  some pretty weird happenings appearing  right in the sky the Marvel lights are  these balls of light that appear out of  nowhere like someone floating in mid-air  is lighting off an M80 there has been so  much speculation on what it could be  some people think it's Spirits floating  around doing a little dance for the  people watching just because you're dead  doesn't mean you don't want attention  other people think that it could be  alien they think that they travel  between this spot and Marfa and wherever  these aliens have come from they can use  this spot to take samples of the earth  like a little school trip but scientists  have said that it's just balls of gas  lighting up in the air boring scientists  always ruining are fun but hey there's  still hope that they're just trying to  cover up some actual alien activity  number two Bigfoot yes I know Bigfoot  was originally spotted in North Carolina  but there have been many sightings of  the possible Missing Link in the Lone  Star State I mean if you're a Bigfoot I  can't imagine you believe in borders you  just kind of go anywhere you please  whenever you want and try to not get  shot and make sure you're always out of  focus although I do think that Texas  would be one of the worst places for a  Bigfoot to travel they're covered in  hair and Texas is almost always hot  there's Cowboys and trackers all over  the place who probably love to hunt you  down and there's so many guns I would  definitely put Bigfoot on the list of  things that are totally fine to shoot on  site but the old eight man is really  popular in Texas there's even a group in  Beeville called the B County Bigfoot  research group that is dedicated to  finding out the truth about Bigfoot I  wonder if they get paid for that if they  just do it out of the goodness of their  hearts at number eight we have the sons  of Hermann Hall this old Hall is a nice  place to have a low-key wedding or throw  one of those Hall parties are those  still a thing they were cool when I was  in high school I'm not cool anymore but  if you choose to have any sort of event  that this Hall you're going to have  plenty of unexpected guests there have  been tons of apparitions that have shown  up while people are still parting in the  building people have seen couples  dancing together kids playing in all  sorts of scary ghostly things but the  ghosts always seem like they're having a  great time many of the ghosts are  dressed in their Sunday Best like  they're heading to a big event if you're  going to be a ghost crashing a wedding  you can at least dress like you're  supposed to be there that's a very nice  thing for them to do I wonder who would  be the last one dancing it would be  pretty hard to out Samba someone who  doesn't have a heartbeat and number  seven we have the Dolphus Hotel you know  I think of a big expensive hotel has a  Ghost Inside it it almost makes it more  fancy you know I think of a big  expensive hotel has a Ghost Inside it  it's almost more fancy the owners are  like yeah this hotel is so nice people  want to spend eternity here if you agree  with this idea then the Adolphus Hotel  must be one of the fanciest hotels in  all of America because it is super  haunted the most famous ghost is that of  a woman in white the ghost of a bride  who never made it to the altar her ghost  has been seen all over the hotel but  mainly in on the 19th Floor she tends to  stick to number 19 because that's the  floor where she took her own life on the  day of her wedding she hung herself in  one of the rooms not only can you see  the well-dressed ghost floating around  but you can also hear her some people  have reported the sounds of a crying  woman from empty rooms on top of the  deceased bride to be there are some  other ghosts who will walk around the  hotel whispering in people's ears and  even one that plays the piano in the  ballroom at number six we have flagpole  Hill if you want to visit this place you  better have car insurance because your  car is going to get bashed up flagpole  Hill seems like a place where you could  just display your patriotism and then go  home but that's not the case there's a  bunch of ghosts there who want to ruin  your expression of loyalty because the  punk Phantoms will start throwing rocks  at your car people have reported rocks  being thrown at their car when no one is  standing there like dude I just got this  Sunfire like are you kidding me you know  what this baby means to me it's crimson  red crimson red Sunfire so maybe if you  go to Dallas you can show your American  


Pride by going to the Cowboys game and  skip the jerk-offs who throw stones at  your car some people think that the  ghost comes from a nearby house where a  man committed suicide at number five we  have the Granddad theater an old closed  down theater of course this place has  some ghosts kicking around inside it  there have been loads of reports coming  from this place most famous is about how  the door to the projector room opens and  closes on its own it's not like that  haunted door from the Los Angeles urban legends list that would crush people to  death that's probably my favorite  haunted door of all time but this one is  still pretty creepy now where have these  ghosts come from well apparently the  whole place was built on an Indian  burial ground which seems like an old  Trope I don't even know if I believe  this one but I'm here to bring you guys  what I have learned so it's up to you to  decide whether or not you believe it and  number four we have Mary of the comb  Creek Trail what are the top three  things that make ghosts Brides who die  on their wedding day people who fall  victim to some sort of horrible curse or  accident and of course children I would  say child ghosts are some of the most  creepy I think they're little hands are  all still sticky in the afterlife well  the sticky handed ghost of a young girl  named Mary haunts the comb Creek Trail  if you're walking or driving down the  trail you might see her go standing by  watching you as you pass there have been  a few photos of the spirit and it seems  like she's not alone and most of the  photographic evidence you can see what  looks like to be some sort of entity  standing behind her could this other  Phantom be the reason that Mary went  missing maybe this monster grabbed her  and took her to the other side or maybe  


she was kidnapped and her kidnapper died  alongside her who knows and for the  number one spot we have the LBJ house so  we've had dead Brides hotels with ghosts  possibly cheating husbands monsters and  Ladies of the lake let's get into the  real nitty-gritty of Dallas the LBJ  house is a long-standing home that  everyone refuses to live in why well  there's a bunch of ghosts in there you  Dingus and now how did all those ghosts  get in there well I'm gonna tell you  that slow down Alley Cat because a man  came in and murdered his whole family  with a butcher knife and then hung  himself whoa you could say  boy that escalated quickly  I mean that really got out of hand fast  now the place has an evil attached to it  I mean for good reason a dude butchered  his whole family in Cold Blood if you do  something like that it doesn't tend to  bring in the Good Vibes now if you go  into the house you can see blood  splashes appear on the walls and an  overall feeling of Doom in your heart  that sounds like a bad time  thank you
