The Texas White House - Haunted Bed and Breakfast

By Elizabeth Arneson, About.com

Location: Ft. Worth, Texas
Inn Size: 5 rooms
From innkeeper Grover McMains: We have had three ghostly experiences here at the Texas White House. We believe it to be the husband of the only family who ever lived in the house; he died here and now haunts his old bedroom.

All occasions have occurred when only one lady was staying in the room.

In the first, the woman awoke in the middle of the night to the feeling that someone was lying on the bed beside her, back to back. She says that for several minutes she lay perfectly still, then she felt the "person" start to move off of the bed. At that point she turned over very quickly to see who it was, and no one was there. The overhead light came on even though no one had turned it on.

In the second, the woman awoke feeling someone getting into bed with her. She turned over immediately to see who it was, and, of course, no one was there. But immediately afterwards, her cell phone, which was plugged in several feet away, began to beep and wouldn't stop for several seconds. She says that her phone had never done that before.

In the most recent, a woman returned to the room and "felt a presence" over in the corner. Later that night she felt the same presence again on the other side of the bed. This woman was not aware of any such occurrences having happened in that room until the morning she checked out; she merely stated to me that she enjoyed the "friendly presence" that had been in the room.
