Anson Opera House Overnight Ghost Hunt & Optional Sleepover, Anson, TX
Located just outside Abilene and built in 1907, the Anson Opera House is a Texas Historical Landmark and one of the most haunted places in Anson, TX. It was once the largest such music hall between Fort Worth and El Paso, and is still a formidable building to this day!
Event time: 8pm – 10am (optional sleepover event – you can leave at any time)
We’re very privileged and excited to be returning to this awesome and very active location!
GHOSTS OF THE OPERA HOUSE
The 1907 opera house is haunted by a spirit that frequents the back dressing room. Actors claim to have heard ghostly footsteps in the vicinity of the room, and objects have been known to go missing from the area and turn up later in inexplicable locations. [source: BigCountryHomepage]
The movement in the dressing room is backed up by a recent paranormal investigation here where the movement was experienced by several members of the team.
“This building is unique, seen all kinds of things in it, had all sorts of people in it, and if there ever was a place that would have spirits in it, this would be one of them,” stated Shannon Middlebrook, an Anson local.
Over the years, people have reported unexplainable noises, strange figures, and other assorted eerie encounters.
“You hear all kinds of things, you’re liable to see something go by,” he continued.
Shannon has spent a considerable amount of time in the building, alone, and can say with some certainty, he has felt a presence.
“I’ve felt uneasy up here at times,” he finished.
However, that is exactly what you’d expected from one of the most haunted places in Anson.
Our Investigations
On our past investigations, we have encountered all the usual phenomena; strange noises, bangs, cold spots, orbs, and disembodied voices.
The team uncovered a portal in the basement, which is extra creepy might I add!
There seems to be an intelligent haunt going on too, as received answers to our questions, they kept calling the teams’ names, and we managed to get a name of Williams more than a few times. It turns out Dr. Williams was the builder of this very building! How awesome is that!?
Come and join us as we try and get to the bottom of why Dr. Williams may still be hanging around, and what else is lurking in this historic building in Anson! Tickets are limited!
Optional Estes Method sessions run by our team during free roam.
Equipment and recording: Guests are welcome to bring their own ghost hunting equipment (EMF meters, spirit boxes, REM pods and similar). For the privacy of other guests and venue security, photography, video and audio recording are not permitted at any point during the event.

Paulina and her staff were amazing. The location and experience was superb. Cannot wait to see them again!
My friend and I purchased the VIP tickets for overnight experience at Belle Grove Plantation. While it was cool to be able to explore the house and grounds, the actual ghost hunt got a little boring, especially as it got later. There wasn't a formal check in or introduction and our guide read the information about the location from her notes and did not encourage the guests to interact with the equipment. She talked to the spirits and allowed us to take turns with the Estes machine but it was mostly us sitting around listening to her. We were all ready for bed by midnight. Lovely location and the room itself was beautiful. I do wish breakfast was included. Overall a neat experience but I wish it was a little more exciting and interactive.
My daughter and I booked a Haunted Rooms tour at the Rawlins, Wy Historical Prison. It was so much fun! The haunted rooms teams was amazing, they were knowledgeable with their paranormal investigation equipment. They were attentive yet also allowed us the opportunity to explore and investigate on our own as well. We got some awesome evidence. I was hit in the shoulder by a cabinet that was closed, but swung open with force. Scared the heck out of me, and the Haunted Rooms team member wasn’t able to debunk it because the cabinet door doesn’t move, even when unlatched. My daughter had her hair pulled. We had a cat ball with us that lit up on its own when we asked a spirit to touch it. We had 3 very intelligent conversations with spirits and used a spirit box with these conversations. It was seriously so much fun. I’ve always been a believer in the ability to communicate and connect with spirits, but to witness it personally without being able to debunk anything we experienced made this tour amazing. I look forward to booking again and I’m taking my son this time too.
We just completed the WY. Frontier Prison tour. We had a blast! Loved how they let you roam freely at the end of the night. Also, the use of their equipment & the snacks and refreshments provided are an added perk. Would highly recommend!
Just did a tour at battleship North Carolina and the night can’t be beat. Most definitely one of the most haunted places in NC.
My husband and I just toured the USS North Carolina Battleship this past Saturday. We had an AMAZING experience! Immediately booked another tour for the Bellamy Mansion and ordered paranormal equipment to use. Can’t wait til the next haunt!!!
We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
