Texas is considered one of the most haunted states in the United States, and our Dallas-Fort Worth area could be considered the scariest of them all. 

1. The Screaming Bridge 

The Legend of the Screaming Bridge in Arlington, Texas, is no joke. The Screaming Bridge at River Legacy Park, visiting the bridge today means having visited or seen the real thing. The truth is, it doesn’t exist anymore. The origins of the Screaming Bridge were that it was located down the road from the one many visit today. It’s said that one night, a group of kids in a car was approaching the bridge when they hit another car, leading the cars to crash into the river, tragically killing them. The road and the bridge have been closed, and now the only accessibility is walking through the park, which a few try at nighttime. But they say people can hear cries for help. People say they see lights on the bridge with a mystic fog giving them strange feelings.

2. Miss Molly’s Hotel

Miss Molly’s hotel in Fort Worth used to be a boarding house for sick children, then the Oasis happened until the 40s, it became a place where gentlemen could visit “working girls,” opening the most tragic era for the hotel. The place has been having a lot of paranormal activity, having scents of strange perfumes, missing items turning up in random places, and old coins on furniture. The ghosts apparently seen are female apparitions of supposed murdered prostitutes who don’t know they are dead.
