San Antonio Ghost Hunt 2 at the Emily Morgan Hotel

After the figure we caught on video inside the locked courtyard of the Alamo we could wait to get back down and try to catch more paranormal activity.  A family reunion of Kim's family gave us the excuse we needed.  Chloe and I left early Friday morning, while Kim and Conner followed later in the day afterr work and spring football practice.

Emily Morgan is said to be significant name in Texas history, Emily was helping General Sam Houston defeat Santa Anna during the San Jacinto battle for Texas Independence. Emily's legend is that she was with Santa Anna and had him rather distracted when Sam Houston captured him.  The Emily Morgan Hotel building is one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of San Antonio. Build in the 1920s and originally called the Medical Arts Building, it is a remarkable example of the Gothic revival style popular at the time of construction. Some of the most interesting features of the architecture are the bizarre terra cotta gargoyles suffering from various medical ailments. Before you even walk into the building, the gargoyles alert you that you are about to enter a weird place.



Check-in



 Emily Morgan Hotel overlooking the Alamo.

We had a great view of the courtyard of the Alamo from our room on the 7th floor.

The Emily Morgan Hotel is known for being one of the most haunted places in San Antonio. Ghost hunters and supernatural thrill seekers come from all around the world to stay at the Emily Morgan Hotel.  It didn't disappoint us. 

  

Our view
 

    An old Hospital turned Hotel built on the sight of the famous Texas battleground.

As its name suggests, the building was first used as a medical facility, and as you are probably aware, old hospitals and medical centers are some of the most frequently haunted locations. The three most haunted floors were formerly the sites of a psychiatric facility and the morgue. Many people have experienced incredible and strange occurrences on these floors, and multiple apparitions have been seen.The Emily Morgan’s past existence as a medical center would be enough to make it a hot spot for ghost hunters, but the Emily Morgan has more haunted history than just that- it happens to be located directly next to the Alamo, one of the most haunted places in the entire world. Most supernatural experts agree that paranormal energy can be transmitted from location to location, so even though it was built after the events at the Alamo, the Emily Morgan’s psychic aura is increased manifold by the supernatural force emitted from the Alamo.  Indeed, many guests at the Emily Morgan have reported experiencing Alamo related spectral occurrences.

We also hunted most of the night and as we investigated we accumulated a number of strangers and followers who asked to join in.   

 

 At one point we ran in to the local official ghost tour and we out numbered them. 

Together we asked for a sign in the basement and the ATM immediately started beeping like crazy.  The only time it made a sound.  Even when used.  

 

Here is some of our best evidence. 

 

The usual battery drains in cameras these pics taken with the same settings seconds apart

 

  At the Alamo and the hotel Chloe as usual led the charge.

 

The supernatural happenings at the hotel mostly occur on the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 14th floors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I believe Kim may have captured a shadow figure in these pics.  A nurse keeping an eye on Chloe perhaps?

 

 Strange orbs and blue lights

Great audio bit I recorded on the floor known to be the maternity ward.  Several screaming babies outside the elevator and not from the rooms.

  This one shot by Kim without knowing it.  From outside looking in a window.

Not sure what to make of it but I found it looks like something almost see -thru and looking out the window.

While in the basement restroom, said to be the location of the morgue I snapped these.  The temp seemed to drop and the room felt very heavy. 

Picture taken in basement / morgue or a figure I think looks like a Dr.

pic taken at same time after I noticed it to show it was not a reflection of me as I was alone done there, and wearing red.

And another pic at same time.

Additional pics of restroom showing Blue light All taken with no Flash.

 

 

The Blue light could be seen on my camera screen in real time, but not with my eyes.  

Then it was gone on the next pic and the room seemed to change to a lighter warmer place.
 

This is the view during the day

But that night we saw flashes and lights inside the courtyard that looked like a gun battle, only no noise or people.  It was locked tight and patrolled by two state troopers around the perimeter. Bright flashes like camera flashbulbs went on back and forth for several minutes around two in the morning.

 We kept seeing them throughout the Alamo courtyard one night like a gunfight going on.  No noise and of course it was locked up.

We went down for a look but all was quiet.
