I have not only seen a ghost while staying at this hotel but spoken to him as well. It was an evil, scary day but the ghost seemed to appreciate the conversation and asked for a Bud-Lite!!!

i know of another haunted hotel in sa antonio, the gunter hotel. i just that i would let anyone know if your interested in looking it up

I stayed at the Menger last year in October 2004 just to see what all the hype was about. Well some friends and I went walking around the “haunted areas” at about 3 am and found nothing but did hear a really errie scream.Other than that the hotel itself is kinda creepy, I guess cause no one else is out in the halls and it is filled with what remined me of funeral music.

Ok, I have been reading most of these comments and have not been too impressed. I know that it is hard to believe that ghosts or other supernatural beings exist. I have stayed in this hotel twice. The first time I stayed in the hotel I was awakened by the sound of footsteps and muffled voices running through the hall. I discounted it as just a bunch drunks coming in from a night on the Riverwalk. About an hour later, I heard the same noise. This time I got up out of bed because I just got a weird feeling. I immediately got out of bed and went to the door, looked out into the hallway and the muffled voices and footsteps stopped. I asked my friend, who was asleep in the other bed, if they had heard anything. They told me I was dreaming.
The second night: while I was taking a shower I had a strange feeling that something was watching me. When looked around the curtain I saw the backside of somone walking out of the bathroom. (I was alone in the room at that time).
That same night: My friend woke me up because he had seen someone or something standing over his bed and then saw them walk walk toward the closet door and disappeared.
The second time we stayed there I was waiting downstairs in the main lobby for my friends and I noticed a faint, hazy figure of a man and woman dressed in an older style of clothes from the early 1900′s. As I walked closer to the man and woman they disappeared. What is so strange about this, I never told anyone about it. One year later my sister and her husband stayed in the same hotel. When they returned from their trip she called me to tell me that she saw the same man and woman in the exact location I had seen them. It is worth checking out if you are ever in San Antonio.

Another hotel to check out is St. Anthony hotel..

I heard of something possilbly called The Devil’s Backbone. It is said to be a bridge in downtown San Antonio that when you cross it you feel hands grabbing you by the ankles and when you drop a rock on the side of it you never hear it land. Maybe if someone can look it up or something..

I have stayed in this hotel a couple of times. I love it. I have also heard what sounds like people wallking the hallway and muffled voices (conversations you can’t make out) only to open the door and find no one in the hallway.

my grandmother lived at the hotel in the 1940s and has many stories about ghosts and other wierd things that happened there. she also has several friends that remember seeing ghosts and hearing strange sounds while visiting her there. it is definately haunted.

all yall are crazzzzzzzzzzy

In December 2004, the place I work had a Christmas Party at the Menger Ballroom, my date and I went for a stroll around midnight around the hotel, we ended up in the lobby on the second floor. We were glaring at a picture of a couple in the hallway, and I made a comment about how they looked like they were hiding something, then as we were looking at a really old mirror next to the table, it got deadly silent. and we heard the chair by the table creak, as if someone sat down and then we heard a slow tapping on the table by the chair we heard creak, it sounded exactly like someone tapping their finger on the tabletop! Curious, my date decided to push on the chair to see if that was the sound we heard and it was, and then he tapped the table to see if that was the sound we heard, and it was! He and I looked at eachother and he looked agonized! He immediately pressed the down button for the elevator which was conviniently right next to us!

My husband and i went to the Menger Hotel on
Tuesday March 22, 2006 our stay was for one night.. this may be funny to most but i offten wonder if this happen to any one eles… just keep in mind we had the heat on in our room… this was a real cold day and night… the low was around 30^ the time we had stayed… A “cold front had hit”
(1st. story ) this is in my room…..
When i feel like some one was there watching me … and mostly it was in the bathroom… when i was taking a shower i had the hot/warm water hit my body when a gust of cold air was be hind me, as the water still hitting me and it was still the same hot/warm water .. and how i know it was the same water is b/c it would hit the back of my legs…. it still felt warm… i couldnt believe it … as well shortly i felt if there was a hand that was on my left side shouder .. As i moved from the water and turnd around to face the water it was still a cold feeling from the front side …
but after my shower i wanted to look around to see if i seen a vent and there was none.
(2nd. thing that happen ….. _)
i was brushing my hair to get ready to leave to walk the river walk i had looked it the mirror for a make up cheak i had notice behind me that there was streams of water from the roof to the floor. The water had streamed down the wall i looked up at the top and found not a one single water stain. I went to the front desk as we left and asked them if there had been any one staying above or next door to us and they told us no… that there was some one that is staying in front of us as well next door to them… and i had asked if they had any ac problems and replyed back with a no. but i had told the lady what i had saw and she asked what room are you in again and i said 3138 the lady said that she had people tell her about that and that werid stuff happens in the rest room .. which is something that i had not told her about.. which freaked me out.. she also said that the water steams happen right before the sprits come.. if its a sign…
(3rd thing that happen)
i couldnt sleep at all .. i am not someone to be scared of sprits or things go bump in the night but i did felt like when i was in bed that i was being watched… at one time i woke up to find a black shadow of a person in the room at the window .. as when i tryed to wake my husband up the sprit left..

(4th thing that happend)
i had layed my socks out on the floor next to me and my pants as well … to come to find out in the moring when we woke up my socks and pants were found on the other sid of the room…

(5th thing that happend.. )
on the second story above the lobby i was taking my last picture my husband was walking down the stairs when he said that he coundnt move i turn to looked at
him he looked like if he was going to fall if some was about to push him but my husband got back to his blance…
as soon as we got our pictures i look at them to see that there are a lot of white orbits in the same area we were at when i was taking the last of our pictures ….

I would like to read some more of people’s stories or feed back…

i would love to stay at the Menger again …

How about nursing homes. Woodlawn Hills Care Center was one scary place to work. Nursing staff that worked the graveyard shift swore they would see and hear children crying. I was told it was an orphanage back in the 50′s and the nuns were cruel to the children. That building has been abandoned for over ten years now. Some san antonians say when they pass through the front of the old mansion you could see ghost or people or whatever you want to call it, looking out the window. My sister says it’s probably homeless people that stay there. I say there ghosts. I’ve been working in nursing homes for over 23 years and I’ve heard theres ghost in every nursing home.

My qustion is why would people want to go again and again if they know it is haunted.

Then that will explain why I heard noises.

I once had to stay in this hotel with my mother, while she was on a business trip. She was off in meetings all day, and I was all alone to wander around the surrounding areas in San Antonio. I do remember being alone a lot in the hotel, walking around, through the lobbies and hallways and such. I do not remember seeing any ghostly figures and what not (i’m pretty sure that’s something you would not forget). Overall, the hotel can be creepy, but no ghosts. At least, I did not see any, if I had, the trip probably would have been more exciting.

My husband and I have stayed at the Menger several times. It is our favorite hotel in San Antonio. We have taken our children there also, and they love it! We have never heard any strange noises or seen any dark shadows. My kids have never seen anything weird either. We have taken pictures all over the hotel and there were never any “white” spots in the photos.
