We have that too, and it is uncanny...

Robert Johnson recorded his classics about 10 minutes from where I live. The hotel is haunted anyway, even before Robert did his thing, but the square of that area has always been known as the Devils Square. For some reason, there are hundreds of stories of demons or the big D himself, showing up and dancing with women who are smitten until they look down and see that their dance partner has hooves instead of regular feet. Canary Islanders had a cemetary there in the 1730s, so the spirits are probably restless since there are mercado and hotels built over them. There are also stories of people seeing grim reapers rising up and following late night revelers...

I worked in Hollywood for a few years, and was on a crappy tv show that had some actors who had worked on the movie Crossroads...they hated, HATED the final result of that movie. It was supposed to be a lot darker, and much more mysterious and creepy, but after a few producers, writers and directors were done with it, it was lightweight, feel good stuff. I think it was Joe Morton who told me that he had originally been very excited to do the film, but it had completely changed...he was a very intense actor.

@thewalkingthrones9165 Joe was on this bad tv series called Equal Justice in 1990, I can't remember when I started on it but it only lasted a couple of seasons...the cool thing was that there were people like him and Sarah Jessica Parker on it too, a lot of them went on to have much better roles. The show was really bad...everyone was fun though...

@tdubya75 This is in San Antonio. Right near the Alamo. The Menger Hotel is also right next to the Alamo, been there since the Alamo fell, and was built on ground that had been fought over. That is one haunted hotel! Ghost tours practically guarantee you'll see paranormal activity because it's so common. Also, a lot of people used to move into the hotel when they were sick, coming in from their ranches miles away to be seen by the doctor and waited on by staff who could bring them food, etc. A lot of people naturally died there from different illnesses, so their spirits seem to be around too. I love the Menger, it feels very active, but not threatening or scary. I think people who die just don't want to leave. I'd haunt it, it's so beautiful and old fashioned!
