Dr Pepper Museum

This historic building once housed Waco’s first Dr Pepper bottling plant, but not all spirits here are carbonated. A deadly explosion in 1913 left several workers trapped beneath rubble, and some believe their restless souls still linger. Visitors have reported eerie footsteps echoing through empty halls and soda bottles moving on their own, as if unseen hands are still hard at work.

US District Court

Justice may never rest here, as shadowy figures have been spotted lurking in the courtrooms long after cases have closed. Some say the anguished spirits of those sentenced to death still haunt the halls, their whispers floating in the air like an unresolved verdict. Guards and staff have reported sudden cold spots and doors slamming shut with no one around to move them.

Waco Hippodrome Theatre

This century-old theatre has seen its fair share of performances—some from beyond the grave. A ghostly woman in white has been spotted drifting through the balcony, while phantom applause echoes through the empty seats at night. If you feel a chill while watching a show, it might not be the air conditioning—it could be a spirit enjoying an encore.

North 6th Street & Austin Avenue

Once a bustling business hub, the Liberty Building hides a darker past of mysterious disappearances and deadly fires. Some claim to hear spectral voices whispering in the stairwell, as if warning of dangers long forgotten. The elevators are said to move on their own, perhaps carrying passengers from another era who never truly left.

Alico Building

Standing as Waco’s tallest skyscraper, the Alico Building has weathered tornadoes, fires, and ghostly apparitions. Employees have spotted a faceless man staring from the upper floors, only to vanish when approached. Some nights, the scent of old cigar smoke lingers in the air—perhaps from a long-departed businessman who refuses to clock out.

North 4th Street & Austin Avenue

This marker commemorates a tragic moment in Waco’s history, where a violent confrontation ended in bloodshed. Passersby have reported hearing phantom gunshots and the distant sound of running footsteps, though no one is ever there. On quiet nights, an eerie feeling of unease settles over the site, as if history itself is replaying in the shadows.

South 4th Street & Austin Avenue

Once a luxurious destination, the Metropole Hotel is now home to more than just old stories—it harbors lingering spirits.
