The vicinity of Spring, Texas features many wonderful cemeteries, and Old Town Spring has the reputation of being very haunted. On Sunday evening, 22 May 2005, we visited several cemeteries in the area, with interesting results.
Wunsche Cemetery
Wunsche Cemetery is a lovely little cemetery with a big reputation, located between the feeder road and I-45, immediately after the Cypresswood exit, heading north. This can be a challenging place to stop, although there is a small parking area for visitors. (You will be re-entering feeder road traffic, including cars leaving I-45 that may still be driving at interstate speeds.)
We checked Wunsche Cemetery twice, and feel that it may have some low-level hauntings. However, we were there during daytime hours and at dusk; it may be better after dark.
Wunsche Bros. Cafe
This is one of the few sites in Old Town Spring that seems very definitely haunted. We have no conclusive outdoor photos yet, but several good indoor pictures. The restaurant graciously escorts patrons upstairs when a staff member is available to show guests around. You’ll be climbing steep stairs to see a rocking chair that we’ve observed rocking when no one was nearby.
Cemetery #1 (our name for the cemetery, not its real name)
This cemetery is in a quiet, residential area and we’re not comfortable sharing the exact location at this time.
Because the cemetery is well-sheltered from breezes, bugs can be a problem. These are our best photos from our second visit there:
Orb #2 on the right is the correct shape, but it is a little too brilliant and the edges are slightly fuzzy. This also suggests an insect, but it’s possible that it’s a very odd “ghost orb.” Because of the insects in the area, we have to discount this second orb as well.
Orbs can be such a hard thing to go by for paranormal evidence. this is really good orbs pictures though.
Last night i went to Spring Creek Park i had a tape recorder and i was with some friends we were just trying to have a good time and see what happened.
I kept saying “if you want to show a sign of your presence you can throw something at us, touch us, talk to us.”
My boyfriend kept seeing shadows walking across the street but we were the only people out right there. i saw them too. then at the corner of my eye I saw something weird in the tree. i stop and stare at it.
All the sudden completely unexpected, I got violently pushed it was with such force that I got a huge gash in my knee, hit my head incredibly hard, and cut my hand and elbow. None of us knew what to think. By the way my tape recorder randomly stopped before i was pushed but before it turned off my boyfriend and my friend caught something on the tape we were all talking but a inhuman sounding voice said ” i’m watching you!” that’s what we are thinking it said.

Hi Donna,
Thanks for your report. I hope that others who visit Spring will be very careful. When a spirit physically pushes people — particularly when it causes harm — that’s usually poltergeist phenomena, and it can be very different from a routine haunting.
I recommend avoiding that location, at least for awhile.
Sincerely,

the mere thought of returning as an orb…..please! My ghosts, tho, so far I can’t see them clearly seem to take up a bit of space. A heavy presence in one spot. If they move to another spot I have to find them or I’m talking to “dead” air. No pun intended. i had to tell one guy ” Would you mind not moving? I’m getting a bit dizzy here”. Since I’m in a public area I can imagine what people are thinking that don’t quite know what i’m doing.
I have been at that cemetery where you have pictures of the orbs. I also have pictures that I took of orbs at the cemetery. I took my girl scout troop to that cemetery to do old rubbings on the headstones. I had an unusual feeling while I was there and when I returned at night, I felt very uneasy and that is when I caught some orbs on my camera. They are very clear. I have quite a few photos of orbs that I have captured on film. Spring is a lovely place to live and as far as Wunsche Bros Cafe, It is full of orbs and at least 2 ghosts. The little girl and the old man are truly there in the cafe.
I work at Wunche Bros Cafe in Old Town Spring. I recently waited on a table with four guests. I told them about it being haunted. They took a picture of a picture of a family that hangs on the wall. The first showed a little girl clearly around eight or nine years old. It was very vivid. Each one at the table took turns taking pictures. By the third picture the little girl was enlarged and it look like a man and woman standing behind her. By the fourth picture, in the other window of the picture was a family of four plus the image in the previous photograph. We were excited to see this and they started showing others what they had captured. However, after awhile the photos started disappearing. I have noticed sense then the little girl shows in the photo when there are young children sitting at the table by the photo. It is like she wants to play with the children there.
