Mansfield's Top 5 Haunted Locations

Mansfield, Texas hit the Paranormal Map with the premiere of the Ghost Adventures: House Calls episode “Mansfield Meltdown.” The episode left folks chilled and with plenty of questions. The home featured, however, is just one of the many paranormal hot spots across the city.

Here are the Top 5 Haunted Spots in Mansfield that you can go visit right now.

The original homestead of Ralph Man, one of Mansfield’s two founders, is now a perfectly preserved museum taking visitors back to the late 19th century in Texas. The antiques aren’t the only things that are more than a century old in this home, however. The ghosts of the Man Family never left. The spirits of Ralph, along with both his first and second wives, Julia and Sarah Jane, are said to still dwell in their old home.
The most famous paranormal encounter involved a city grounds worker who was clearing out the flower garden outside the home. He looked up from his work and was horrified to see a woman dressed in a white dress standing in the window, looking down at him. The worker fled and refused to ever return.
You can watch our paranormal documentary “Mysteries of the Man House”, which is filled with stunning ghost evidence. The museum is free and open to the public, Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. if you’d like to check out the stories yourself.

Mansfield’s most famous haunted spot, the Farr Best Theater opened in 1917 as the first theater in the tiny town. Lights turning on and off by themselves, objects tossed from the balcony, shadow figures on the stairs and disembodied voices aren’t just rare encounters, they are stories that almost every regular attendee and worker at the theater can tell.
A rogue’s gallery of ghosts haunt the theater: the Ghost of MacDougal, Mrs. Peck, a mysterious drummer, Milton Farr, and perhaps something darker that has sent chills down the spines of many a guest.
We have produced two different paranormal documentaries on the theater, “Ghosts of the Farr Best” and “Return to the Farr Best”; both featuring the most compelling evidence of the paranormal that we’ve ever captured.
The Farr Best Theater is still the home to live entertainment year round and you can go to FarrBestTheater.com for upcoming shows. 

The Mansfield Historical Museum is filled with historical artifacts and open to the public, Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum has also been the site of two famous murders in Mansfield. Lawyer John Guess was shot by his own nephew and died on the stairway that now leads to the museum’s second floor and Constable Robert Morison was gunned down by bootleggers right outside the building. Stories of these two spirits haunting the museum and Main Street continue to this day.

The historical cemetery features elaborate tombstones and the burial sites of some of Mansfield's most prominent residents including Ralph Man, Julian Feild, Constable Robert Morison and, according to some accounts, N.M. Peck, the main who murdered his wife and committed suicide in one of Mansfield’s most grisly crimes that has spawned its own ghost stories.
It has been reported that the same woman in white spotted at the Man House has been seen walking through the headstones at night.

Built in 1878, the Wallace-Hall House is a Queen Anne style historic home located in the heart of Historic Downtown Mansfield at 210 S. Main Street. Managed by the Mansfield Commission for the Arts, the home was recently converted to an art venue. This is a new property for the paranormal scene, but already mysterious things have been documented around the home. You can walk through the halls to both view the artwork and listen for footsteps when no one else in around. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday.
