THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The historic Crazy Water Hotel remains closely tied to Mineral Wells' famous supernatural folklore. Visitors have reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, mysterious voices, and unusual activity throughout the landmark building.
Formerly the Crazy Water Hotel, the building here is now a retirement and assisted-living community. The hotel was built in the 1920s over the site of a well, and legend has it that the hotel’s name comes from the tale of a mentally unstable woman who went there every day to drink the water until she was cured. Witnesses have spotted a young girl’s apparition in the basement and a male ghost in the kitchen area.
