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!

Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
My son and I went to belles grove plantation and it was the best time! We enjoyed everything! Miss V was great! We got a few pictures of something in the windows and I actually started crying which I NEVER would let my son see me cry! It was kinda spooky but awesome at the same time! The team is great and I highly recommend going on one of their tours! Thank u all for a great experience
I had an amazing experience with Haunted Rooms America at the Belle Grove Plantation in King George, VA. The staff was very informative and helpful explaining the various pieces of equipment.
We had such a great experience at the Metropolitan Hotel in Paducah Kentucky. 10/10 would recommend.
Super fun evening! would definitely recommend doing anything they are offering.
The staff was really knowledgeable about the location. Our group had a lot of fun trying the equipment. It's an experience I'll never forget! Thank you to David and his crew for an amazing night.
KY and Haunted Rooms America is amazing. KY was extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions we had when we attended the Haunted tour at the old st.james hospital in Butte,MT. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to join this amazing group and getting to work these events.
