The Menger Hotel Makes Top 10 Ghostly Getaway

The Historic Menger Hotel located in San Antonio, Texas, was recently featured as a top 10 "Ghostly Getaway" in the country.

The Historic Menger Hotel

Built in 1859, the Menger has become an important part of San Antonio's history and is located adjacent from the historic Alamo compound where the bloody Battle of the Alamo of 1836 was fought.

The Menger Hotel's Public Relations director keeps a list of all reported ghost sightings. Here are a two:

Maid, Sallie White, murdered by her husband and buried at hotel expense by the Menger, has been seen walking in the hotel corridors, especially at night for many years. She is clad in an old, long gray skirt with a bandana around her forehead and is generally carrying towels, which she never delivers.

Captain Richard King, founder of the King Ranch, appears now and then entering his room, the King Suite. He has been seen by many guests and employees of the hotel. The unusual thing is that he does not use the suite door, but goes directly through the wall. There was a door in the location where Captain King entered his suite many years ago.
