Expert Tip. The Historic Menger Hotel was built in 1859, 23 years after the historic battle at the Alamo. The hotel is known for a number of apparition sightings including three figures who entered through a locked door and surprised hotel employees one evening. A young girl went up to an employee and caressed his face. Apparently annoyed, another figure grabbed her by the hair and pulled her "through" the body of the other employee. Distressed by this, the employees became violently ill. To date, at least 32 ghosts have been cited on the property.
