Founded in 1836 by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen, Houston has grown from a modest trading post to the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States. The city’s rise was fueled by the arrival of the railroad and the oil boom of the early 20th century. Houston also played a crucial role in the space race, earning the nickname “Space City” with its association with NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Today, it’s known for its bustling economy, cultural diversity, and historical significance. But beneath its modern facade lies a tapestry of ghostly lore and haunted landmarks that beckon those intrigued by the supernatural.

Tour Highlights

Our tour begins at La Carafe, one of Houston’s oldest buildings, dating back to the 1860s. This charming wine bar, located on Congress Avenue, is not just a place for a drink—it’s a hotspot for ghostly activity. Patrons and staff have reported a range of eerie encounters, from ghostly whispers to unexplained movements. Many believe the hauntings are connected to a former bartender who became deeply attached to the establishment. With its antique furnishings and historic ambiance, La Carafe is a must-see for anyone interested in Houston’s haunted history.

Next, we visit the Donnellan Family Crypt, a site rich with spectral tales. Situated in a downtown park, this crypt once held the remains of the Donnellan family until it was moved in 1900. Witnesses have reported seeing shadowy figures and experiencing sudden drops in temperature near the site. Some believe that the disturbance of graves during the relocation may have stirred the restless spirits, adding to the crypt’s eerie reputation. The unsettling atmosphere of the crypt makes it an intriguing stop on our ghostly journey.

We then venture to the Old Magnolia Brewery Building, a location with a colorful and unsettling history. Originally a bustling brewery, the building later served as a speakeasy during Prohibition and then as an industrial site. Its varied past has contributed to the supernatural phenomena reported by visitors, including flickering lights, disembodied voices, and the feeling of being watched. One of the most haunting tales involves a former worker who died in a grisly accident on the premises. His ghost is said to roam the corridors, reenacting his tragic demise. The Old Magnolia Brewery Building offers a chilling blend of industrial history and ghostly intrigue.

Our final stop is the McIntyre’s/Old Spaghetti Warehouse Building, renowned for its paranormal activity. Built in the early 20th century, this building was home to a popular Italian restaurant known not only for its food but for its ghostly reputation. A tragic accident, including a fatal fall down an elevator shaft, has cemented its status as one of Houston’s most haunted sites. Guests and staff have reported objects moving on their own, sudden cold spots, and unexplained noises. Now operating as the trendy bar McIntyre’s, the building continues to offer spine-tingling experiences, making it a highlight of our tour.

While this tour is a walking experience and we can’t enter privately owned buildings, the excitement of exploring these haunted sites from the outside is palpable. You’ll feel the thrill of standing on the ground where history and the supernatural intersect.
