Old Town Spring–just north of Houston, Texas–is haunted. Some claim that it’s the most haunted town in Texas. I’m not sure about that, but it’s definitely an eerie place after dark.

There are several locations that fascinate me, but one of the best is the old bank building.

The bank is easy to recognize; it’s the brick building with bulletholes, in the middle of the 100 block of Midway. It’s on the same side of the street, and just a few doors down from, the haunted Wunsche Bros. Cafe and Saloon.

In the photo at the left, you can see one of the bullet holes in the bank’s brick exterior. The Spring State Bank–as it was called–was the site of at least two robberies involving gunfire. One may have featured the famous team of Bonnie & Clyde.

DO THE BANK’S GHOSTS LINGER?

In January 2006, the bank building was empty once again. Shops move in, and soon move out. Few people will admit that the building’s ghosts are a problem, but–with a violent history like this–it’d be odd if there wasn’t some haunted energy there. We keep revisiting this building because there’s something there, inside and outside the old bank.

Sure, there’s residual energy. After two gunfights, that’s normal for a town with the “wild west” history of Old Town Spring.

But, my gut feeling is that there’s at least one figure walking around inside that building, after dark.

GHOSTLY MIST – FIRST HAUNTED EVIDENCE

During a November 2005 ghost investigation, I captured a couple of odd photos at the bank. In the images below, you can see a light or mist forming at the right side of the photo. I’d have dismissed the picture at the right as a finger or insect in front of the lens, but the left photo makes it clear that this was an anomaly that formed while I was taking the pictures. These pictures were taken a few minutes apart. A bug wouldn’t be hovering that long in one spot in front of my lens… not without me noticing it, anyway.
