Come See Terrell Differently

mural project city of terrell historic building registry


Step into the shadows of historic Terrell, Texas. 

This is not a haunted house with jump scares—this is a journey into the true, darkened past of our city.  Walk the streets and alleyways where history refuses to die.

Our paranormal investigators will weave together the documented haunted experiences and their own personal accounts of the paranormal. 

You will hear the tales of the spirits that linger in the Brin Opera House, the tragic accidents that left a mark on the town, and the stories that locals whisper about but rarely speak aloud.

Bring your cameras or fully-charged phones!

Meeting Point: Corner of Moore Avenue and Frances Street. American National Bank Parking Lot (Across the Street from the Iris Marquee). Closest physical address: 209 East Moore Avenue, Terrell, Texas 75160.

Capture the Paranormal Contest


The ghosts of Terrell aren't shy. If you catch one on camera, we want to see it.


Ghost Photographed on Dallas area Ghost Walk

The Photo Above:  Taken by a guest on the Terrell Ghost Walk.  Do you see a strange figure in this photograph?

The contest runs from May to October.  We try to gather submissions all year but it helps if you can time travel to one of those months and repost if you are able.


  • Take photos during your tour.

  • ​

  • Post your best evidence on Facebook or Instagram.

  • ​

  • Tag @HistoricTerrellGhostWalks and use  #TerrellGhosts.

  • ​

  • The Prize: Every few months we pull the photos our guests have shared.  We let our followers pick, the best capture wins a prize from several possibilities:

    • A free T-shirt

    • A $20 gift card

    • A complimentary Ghost Walk ticket

    • Other Terrell Ghosts Merch

  • The Rule of Three: Don’t just take one photo. Take three in rapid succession. If an anomaly moves or changes shape between frames, it’s more likely to be paranormal.

  • ​

  • Watch Your Breath: In cold weather, hold your breath while taking the shot to avoid capturing your own condensation (which looks like "ectoplasm").


  • No Flash is Best: Flash reflects off dust and bugs (creating "orbs"). Try using "Night Mode" or a low ISO setting to capture natural shadows.


  • Live Photos: If you have an iPhone, turn on "Live Photos." You might catch a shadow figure moving just before or after the shutter clicked.

GhostTube paranormal detection app interface on a smartphone

Your Phone is Smart. Let’s See if it Can Talk to the Dead.

We encourage guests to bring their own tech. Here are a few apps we recommend downloading before you arrive:

  • GhostTube Original  Uses your phone's environmental sensors to measure fluctuations in the environment

  • GhostTube SLS   Detects humanoid bodies in your environment similar to the Kinect SLS cameras used by real paranormal investigators.
  • GhostTube SEER    Uses your mobile device's actual sensors to detect fluctuations in the environment, and uses these to select words from the pre-populated word bank.
Tip: Make sure your battery is 100% charged. Spirits are known to drain batteries!
