Marfa Lights

Marfa is a tiny town in Texas, but the lights that it’s known for are anything but small. Residents and visitors alike have reported seeing eerie, unnatural looking lights in the sky. The lights seem to show up randomly and don’t act according to any pattern. There are many theories as to what the freaky lights are. Some include UFOs, car light reflections, and of course, spirits.

Camp Lulu Sams

There’s an abandoned girls’ camp outside of Brownsville, Texas called Camp Lulu Sams. Legend has it that the camp was shut down years ago after one of the counselors went crazy and murdered several campers. According to the story, the screams of the murdered children can be heard coming from the camp late at night. Talk about creepy!

The Crying Girl of Matz Street

In Harlingen, Texas, many residents claim to see a crying girl wandering Matz Street late at night. The young girl walks up and down the road crying into her hands. She’s generally unresponsive when approached, but from time to time, she looks up at good Samaritans who want to help – and then she disappears.
