Is the Menger Hotel Haunted?

In this chilling episode of Ghostly, we head to San Antonio, Texas, to explore one of the most haunted hotels in America: the legendary Menger Hotel. Built on the edge of the historic Alamo battlegrounds, this grand Victorian-era hotel has welcomed presidents, war heroes, and celebrities—but it’s the guests who never left that keep the legend alive.

From the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt, still recruiting at the bar, to Sallie White, a chambermaid murdered by her jealous husband and now seen folding towels on the third floor—this hotel is teeming with spectral activity. We’ll share the tragic tale of Captain Richard King, the cattle baron who died in his suite and reportedly still paces its floors, and examine the paranormal echoes of murder, suicide, and war that linger in its haunted halls.

We also dive into firsthand accounts—glowing orbs, whispering soldiers, vanishing gentlemen, and the mysterious housekeeper named Mabel who continues to care for guests from beyond the grave.

Is the Menger Hotel truly haunted, or just rich in history and Texas legend? Listen now and decide: Ghost or Not.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • The violent murder of chambermaid Sallie White and her ongoing ghostly presence
  • Paranormal encounters with Teddy Roosevelt’s ghost in the hotel bar
  • The lingering spirit of Captain Richard King in the King Ranch Suite
  • Mysterious deaths and residual hauntings tied to the hotel’s long and violent past
  • Firsthand accounts of apparitions, flickering lights, and rooms that seem alive
