Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Bragg Rd.

Saratoga, Texas

This hotel at the end of this street was once run by a well known innkeeper. The man, however, was decapitated by an oncoming train during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Now a strange light is seen near the hotel; it is allegedly the innkeeper searching for his head.

All,

I and a friend went to Bragg Road recently (02/03/2007 and arrived at the Bragg Rd. around 11: 15 pm. I was about to turn my car into the road when my friend FREAKED OUT AND BEGAN SCREAMING AT ME !!!!
She screamed at me not to turn down the road because their was EVIL in those woods and she could feel it’s presence. She grabbed my steering wheel from me and forced my car nearly off of the road. We came all the way from Houston and this is what I get for bringing a woman along, who joked and laughed with me all the way up to Bragg road for two hours, making fun of Bragg Road. I guess the Bragg Road had the last laugh though. She was so hysterical I had to do as she demanded and turned my car around back to Houston.
Next time, (real soon), I will be returning to Bragg Road solo!!

I’ve lived in Saratoga my whole life. It’s funny to read these city folk tales. There is no cemetery that you can go to on Bragg. There are a few Mexican graves in the area, but they are before you get to Bragg and on the opposite side of the highway. Most people from Saratoga (the drunks) know that there is something down there but it cleary only attacks sober people on road trips. I don’t know of anyone who has been physically attacked.

I live in Lufkin TX, i moved here when i was 2 years old from New Caney just out side of Houston. But 2 years ago me and my family and some friends whet to sartoga “my dad has been there twice and has seen it dance in the sky above the tree line” but when we went we dident see nothing.Yesterday me and 4 of my friends went and i have been telling them about it for a while so they wanted to go. my friend driving is my best friend that went the frist time with me, so we get there and they are freaking about when we take the bragg road comeing off from the FM. we were there for about an hour and a half just driving up and down, then we get out of the car. not long after that i see a glowing light at the end of the road like a sunrise. at first i thought it was another car because the road was prutty buzy “btw the light came from the other way… not the way that when people see the car lights and then turn and dissapear no it was from the other way” and it had a very orjange glow to it and it was very far at first but in about 1minute it became very close my friends about 60-80 feet and i was so excited but so freaked out, then we started yelling at it as it got closer. then one of my friends shined the flash light on it but it was to far away to distinguished it as a huax then he quicklt turned the light off and about 10 seconds later he turned the light back on and the light of the flashlight shined past the glowing light and there was nobody near it so we are all freaked out and the light is just floating there. then as we all looked the dissapear and then we all screamed like little girls and it reappeared and then floated over to the other side of the road and dissapeared and then reappeared. we tryed getting closer to it but it wouldent let us it was like beconing us to follow it and we did. we got the last 10seconds on the video camera but it had coved away from us because we got the car to try and chase it down and then a car had turned onto the road and was coming down and then the light vanished. but i beleive my dad now for all these years of ghost lights. Btw he told us not to curse the light if it dident show up. the second time he went with his girlfriend he cursed the light for it dident show and on the way home he hurd a car engine but no car was around him no head lights nothing and then all of a suddent he was hit from behind and he hit a telephone poll.
If you havent been to bragg road you must go. even if you dont see the light the first time if you take some friends it will still be fun… and the road is the spookiest place iv ever seen.

My boyfriend and his 2 friends and I went to the brag lights, we went up and down the road 2 times and saw nothing, we all got quiet in the car and turned the lights off, then all of a sudden a huge *** bat hit our windshield, we all just screamed our heads off. it was great, even if we didnt see the lights. Also some redneck was sitting close to the beginning of the road next to a huge fire, when he saw our car he lifted up a big shotgun and pointed at us. friken weirdo. A while back a scientist examined the air around the siting. He discovered that the actual “lights” we are seeing is a gas called fox fire.

I’ve grown up in Hardin County my entire life, and have been to the Ghost Road many times. Unfortunately I haven’t ever had the pleasure to experience anything, but our team is planning a trip there again soon.

I am very interested to find out exact locations of where the Mexican Graveyard is, or where the Saratoga Hotel was.

If anyone can please provide me with some specific info, I would be greatly appreciative!

All,

I have been to Bragg Road on four different occasions.
Yes, the light exists, it’s scary, that place is creepy, and that light differently knows who I am.

All,

I have been to Bragg Road on several occasions,since first discovering it on the Internet. The light has always appeared to me. It knows me. I don’t know how I know this, I just do. It will appear a hundred yards from me, but will not get in my face, like it did the very first time I encountered it. The light is real, that is all I can say. Bragg Road is indeed a truly haunted place !!!

DIRECTIONS FROM BEAUMONT TEXAS:

Take 105 pas Sour Lake (approx 12 miles)

take 770 on the right (there is a school on the left and a 55mph sign)

go approx 4 miles, over a small bridge and take the road to the left
787-go approx 2 miles and you will see the
“OLD GHOST ROAD” sign on the right.
drive about 5 miles doen that road
(there are only 2 turn arounds….go to the 2nd one, it is on the LEFT)

turn your car AROUND so you are facing the way you came in….
that is the direction the light comes from.

and yes, it is an orangish ball that gets bigger and smaller..

I went to the Brag Lights and wow…I never believed anything like this before. Everyone tells me that it is a true thing, but…Like I said….I couldn’t believe it. Well, we went down the road one night that was very clear. All of a sudden we stopped the vehicle, we then saw a light flicker. The orange glow just went from one side of the road to the other. We tried driving closer to it…But it just kept getting further away the closer we got to it. But it would go across the road, then come back across the road. It went across probably 3 times and then dissappeared into the woods. I know that it was true then. I dont really know WHAT it was, but…It freaked me out.

I have been to bragg road, aka “Ghost road”. A cop lives on that road now from what I believe. My brother and a couple of friends use to take girls out there to freak them out and scare the heck out of them. It is for real though. I see it every time I go out. Once the light came up from the side of our car though and that kind of freaked me out. All the other times it has come from behind us or in front.

I did research on the road about a year ago. The road use to be a loading track for the train tracks across the highway(where they say the dead witch is burried). Anyway there was a record of a man who lost his head on that track, and shortly after not even three years the tracks were torn down and a dirt road was laid over the once laid tracks. Rumors say they tore the tracks down and let the crews go because men were droping like flies out there.

Not sure how much of the research is truth. However, I did get a lot of the info from a place not to far from there. Cleveland TX library.

I find this pretty funny. I have never seen the light myself never actually been there during the night either. My dad however grew up there and said he has seen this light on many occasions. My dads grandfather my great grandfather actually was the one who signed the death certificate of the said man whose ghost that roams searching for his head. Funny thing is from the stories I have heard the doctor states that he died of natural causes. They dont know what happened to his head or how he lost it just that they found is decapitated body by the railroad.

That is the most combined and warped version of this story I have ever heard. The Motel and the alleged RR worked have nothing in common. Now I have heard a couple of freaky stories about the motel, and how someone saw it as they passed, even though it was long gone years before.
