The Texas Governor's Mansion has been linked to ghost stories dating back more than a century. Staff have reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and mysterious sounds associated with former occupants.
The 1853 mansion that was home to several Texas governors is said to be haunted. According to reports, the north bedroom is haunted by former governor Pendleton Murrah’s nineteen year old nephew. He shot himself when the girl he loved refused his offer of marriage. The ghost of Sam Houston also is believed to haunt his old room.
