Ghostly Lights
This quaint restaurant, famous for its pickles, is said to be frequented by three separate apparitions. There are two females and one farmer. Workers have reported seeing ghostly lights throughout the building. They have also alleged many of the tools in the kitchen moving and performing by themselves. In the restaurant, there is also a book for guests to record their observations.
i would love to eat in this restaurant! where is it located?

This place is called The Catfish Plantation, the website is catfishplantation.com the address is 814 Water Street. The phone number is 972-937-9468(they don’t take reservations). This place is as serious as you can get when it comes to real haunts. One time when I went I was sitting in the fireplace room with my grandaddy, mom, and dad in the corner. The waiter had come and sat my silverware down on the napkin then I looked back down and the silverware was crossed, my family did NOT touch it! Then about 5 minutes later Im just sitting there with my back to the wall when my hair was tugged on. It was so weird!

Comment by Chelsea Denay | 10.18.2005 | 3:48 pm
Chelsea said, ” i have the scar to prove it! ” what happened? Can you give any details? I am really curious about it, I’m going to be going to Texas soon and I would like to know if it’s worth stopping by…
Comment by Lena | 10.21.2005 | 5:20 pm
Whoa, thats pretty creepy. Too bad I’m in Sumter, SC. I’d visit there probably, but with Chelsea saying she has a scar from it, well it makes me think twice. o.0

Hey, hey. Why so much violence? Yes, Texas is a great state, but every other state is just as good. We just do it bigger down here in the south. The point is, why argue over that when THERE ARE GHOST OUT THERE!!! This is what this site is about. Since i’m on the topic. I live near Galveston and everyone knows that Galveston was hit by the 1900’s Storm that wipe out the whole area. There are ghost everywhere!! One story of such, is when galveston was rebuilding, the medical center, UTMB was trying to build some property where an old man lived. The old man refused to sell his land cause he was so happy there. He enjoyed the ocean view and the sounds of it made him happy. UTMB tricked the man and put him in a retirement home where he died. UTMB built a building where his old house is at. Soon a face apeared on the wall facing the ocean. The people at UTMB tried to sand blast the face but it would move up or down. Finally they gave up but the face is still there and it would move. The first time I seen the face, it was in the middle block. It creeped me out cause you can REALLY see his facial appearance. The next time i seen him was on halloween night and it was on the top block!!! Don’t believe me? Question the truth? Look it up!! It will show you the face!!! Its SOOO CREPPY YA’LL!!!

I am a truck driver and we have a terminal/garage in wax. (waxahatchie) Myself and 2 other drivers went to this restaurant while our trucks were in the shop. I didnt know anything about the “hauntings” when we arrived, my 2 friends went inside to get a table,i was outside finishing a cigarette. After I finished, I went inside and someone or something said, “welcome” I turned and said thank you, expecting to see a hostess…noone was there!!! Also, as we were sitting eating our dinner, one peice of my friends catfish..”walked” off his plate about 3-4 inches onto the table…and all 3 of us saw this!! frigging weird place.

Just for your information, the Catfish Plantation was burnt down in a fire in 2002 or 2003. We were on our way to Dallas, Texas to go to Willie Nelsons 4th of July concert and stopped in to find the Catfish Plantation, but the locales said it had burnt down in a terrible fire the year before.
Comment by Christine | 09.28.2006 | 4:46 pm
It had burnt down, but is now reopened. It is about 6 blocks west of the courthouse on Water street. Went yesterday for the first time, at about 2pm. Was standing inside the door with my mother-in-law, about to leave when the door swung open on its own between us, at a fairly fast pace. I tried to recreate this by closing the door and letting it drift open, but even after trying to make it happen several times, I couldn’t even get close to recreating it. It was very strange. Even if you don’t believe in the hauntings part of it, I do highly recommend the food there. Everything was excellent, best catfish I’ve ever eaten.
Comment by Chad | 10.1.2006 | 11:56 am
Well just checked out the web site…looks real to me. I also read the stories that they have on their web page, very interesting. Next time I go by I will for sure stop and get me some Good Home Cookin! Because after all that is another thing that TEXAS is known for….yep I was born and rasied in TEXAS!

The Catfish Kitchen burnt down in 2003 or 2004, so if you say you worked there since then or you visited since then you are a liar. If they rebilt it, then the new place is not the original building that was truely haunted. If you do not like Texas or the United States of America, then just leave! We don’t want you here!

Comment by jessica Hernandez | 11.3.2006 | 4:00 pm
The place is very nice. Good food, nice people. I was however disapointed. I caught the waiters more than once changing the hands on the clocks, moving things and doing other things that ghost are said to be doing. Once I also over heard a waiter telling a new bus boy he was to do things only when he knew no one could see him. The waiter and myself both got a good laugh when he found out I had over heard this. I am sadly still ghost hunting…
Comment by Jeannie Krob | 11.5.2006 | 2:45 am
I’ve been here hot Christine ,I seen the place. once I worked there I saw it in the frezer.I was his roomate his name is June.I was locked up in the frezer with him.I noticed thoa that it was a pib swinging in the air.On the reflection of the party lights.

Comment by nic | 12.7.2006 | 8:54 pm
I think these ghost stories are a bunch of lies and were taken out of some book, but it’s nice how all of you use your imagination to make seem real and have fun doing so. This is probably just some publicity from the owner to get you to go and waste your money there.

Comment by Me | 01.11.2007 | 6:28 pm
OK well I actually saw knives and a fork walking down my isle. So I then shouted out that I have read about him before. So he then wrote a note and gave it to me on the table. He said that He will see me later . Then i wrote no I yelled to him that I lived in a cramped hotel In California. So that night I was walkin down my hall and i saw him with his knives run right down the hall like he was trying to hide from me. I got a picture of him and now I thinks that he hates me.

Catfish Plantation has been restored and not only have the ghosts not left, they helped the construction workers!
Comment by Brenda | 06.18.2007 | 4:17 pm
I search on some of these websites to see if there is anything worth my time. Ghost are real, there is proof. There are shows on tv based off of actual hauntings. If you are the at least bit curious, then you would of never visited the site. I have had experiences and have vistited hauted sites, and have done a little investigating.
Comment by Ronda | 06.27.2007 | 3:17 pm
Why would all of you people who don’t believe this sort of stuff even be on this website? And you are all really childish leaving those nasty comments up there. Open your enclosed sheltered lives a bit.

Uhhh…the people who claim this is a fake OBVIOUSLY don’t live in Texas. ANYONE from Texas knows about the Catfish Plantation and how it’s really haunted.
Comment by Jesse | 07.29.2007 | 1:24 am
I just have to say that I did visit the Catfish Plantation in Waxahachie Texas . My girlfriend needed my help to move away from her abusive husband . And on the way to her house I saw this little restaurant . And thought I’d take her there for lunch .
I had no idea of the history of this place was . Just thought it would be neat to go inside and eat .
Long story short . This lady came up to me and wanted to know if I liked sugar in my tea and I said yes ….
My girlfriend stared at me and said who the hell are you talking to ?
And when I turned around the lady was gone . She was dressed in old timey clothes ( as I call them ) not sure what year . But I thought that the people that worked there dressed up for the part . ……………….Guess what ? They don’t ! Let’s just say I believe in ghosts now . I’ve never been to a real haunted place before . Didn’t really believe in ghosts before . But never really disbelieved either . My expereince is just that . I didn’t get a picture or anything …. cause I didn’t know I’d need one . But I DID see this lady plain and clear . And heard her with my own ears . Her appearance only lasted long enough to ask me if I wanted sugar in my tea . And then she was gone ……..
Comment by Tina | 09.2.2007 | 10:04 pm
This place is really haunted. I have been there
several times but I can tell you that one time in
particular I was there and all of a sudden it got
really cold where my husband and I were sitting and
we looked around but there were no air conditioning
vents. But then again why would they put that
on in the winter time? It has really great chicken
fried steak!!!!
Comment by Michelle | 09.24.2007 | 7:33 pm
I have been to this restaurant several times and in my
own opinion it really is haunted. One afternoon my
husband and I decided to go and we were sitting
in this one area when it got really cold, we looked
around and there were no vents for the air conditioning. But then again, why would there be
in the winter time?
Comment by Michelle | 09.24.2007 | 7:36 pm
I lived in Waxahachie for six years and ate at the Catfish Plantation frequently. One year on Halloween while taking my children trick-or-treating we stopped by and the place was packed. My child was dressed in a ghost costume and everyone wanted to take a picture with him (because he is sooooo cute) NEway, there is a Catfish Plantation sign right in front of the building and everyone gathered around the sign with my child in the middle. I took probably 10 pictures for all the people and one for myself. When we got them developed you could see numerous orbs around the group and up in the trees surrounding the property. I would say this is a truly haunted place to check out!
Comment by Roger | 10.2.2007 | 2:04 pm
I ate at Catfish Plantation one time and this is what happened to me. While sitting at the table I felt somthing rub on my leg. I was sitting at the table alone so nobody else at the table could have done it. Also, while visiting the ladies room, I experienced a very cold spot just inside the door.

I used to work at this restaurant a few years ago before it burned down, and i was there on very late nights by myself even, and i never experience any kind of activity. i believe in ghosts, but never saw anything there. i think it is nothing more than something that has gotten carried away.

When I go there, Ill tell yall bout my time. And seriously people, grow up, and don’t put a bunch of **** on here.
Comment by ashley dude! | 05.25.2008 | 8:55 pm
I used to live in Waxahachie. My sisters and I would eat here all the time with my father. There were days it would feel a bit weirder than others, as if something unnatural was present, and other days it was just a plain old restaraunt. I believe it truly is haunted. I have been going there since i was a baby. It is definetly somewhere you should go if you ever stop in this town.
Comment by Laci Weikert | 06.9.2008 | 12:57 pm
I’m a 50-something grandmother, and I can tell you that there was a really weird picture taken of the restaurant while it was burning. It was even published in the Dallas papers- you could see what looked like the outline of people framed in a window, inside the flames. Very creepy. I don’t know if you could google image it or w/e but that pic really stayed in my mind.
