Dallas Ghost Tour — 13 Haunted Stops, Self-Guided

Walk Dallas's most haunted locations. 13 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.

At 12:30 PM on November 22, 1963, three shots echoed through Dealey Plaza and changed American history forever. Dallas has never shaken what happened that day — security guards at the Sixth Floor Museum still see a figure crouching in Lee Harvey Oswald's sniper perch after hours. This 13-stop self-guided ghost tour maps the city's most haunted ground, and every stop is free. The Adolphus Hotel, opened by beer magnate Adolphus Busch in 1912, harbors a bride in a 1930s wedding dress who roams the nineteenth floor searching room to room. Millermore Mansion, built in 1855 by slaveholder William Brown Miller, produces the sound of a baby crying from its preserved nursery. And at White Rock Lake, drivers have picked up the same soaking-wet woman in white since the 1930s — she gives an address, sits in silence, and vanishes before arrival.
