Menger Hotel San Antonio, TX. Room 309. November 2007 3 nights



Next door from  the Alamo the whole area was very cool but it was a little disappointing compared to its reputation for haunting.  No evidence captured this time. Used a K2 meter for first time.  We did have a couple of personal experiences.  Conner and Colin saw someone walk by at the towel rack near the pool.  It happened very quick and we were completely alone in the middle of the night.   They both confirmed they saw the same thing separately by telling a third party. Security guard told us the same night he was called to the room down the hall from us by the manager to turn off the TV (reported by other guests in the night). There was no one staying in the room. When he and another hotel employee opened the door they found the clock radio blaring music. When they approached the radio to turn it off it went to full volume. When he got to it turned off. He then grabbed it to remove it and realized it was unplugged all along with no on board backup battery.  We investigated in the hotel for several hours each night, but didn't experience much.


 The last night Conner and Colin also did a 1.5-hour ghost hunt at 1:00 a.m. at the Alamo with the night security, a Texas state trooper looking on.  It was a once in a lifetime experience to be completely alone at such a historic place.  You could feel the power of the past when we were alone inside.

Update: 11/2010
New video evidence.  Until found later....
While searching for some pics of our trip to San Antonio for another project,  I reviewed our ghost hunting video of the Alamo.  Since the original post ( http://hauntedfamilyvacations.blogspot.com/2009/10/menger-hotel-san-antonio-tx-room-309.html )
I have upgraded my computer and with a better monitor what I found was what I thought I saw in person but unable to make out when I first reviewed the footage.  That night back in 2007 I kept thinking I could see a dark figure inside the secured courtyard next to the chapel.  I am sure there is something there now so I will go ahead and post it.  I panned to it twice and even zoomed in at one point.  To me it looks like a person in period clothes with a rifle and a tall hat common to the uniforms at the time of the battle




For sure no one was back there as the gate was padlocked and the Texas state trooper was about 10 feet behind us on guard.  Decide for yourself.
