Name	Description
Arkansas Road-House	A big house on a hill where a boy murdered his family in the 90's. It's said that if you go into the house mysterious people run out, weird noises our heard like footsteps, doors slamming, windows breaking. - November 2003 Update: The house was built in the 40's. The whole area around it was a ranch, and that's where the family lived. The murders happened in the 60's or early 70's. There are two stories; the first being the family had a retarded son they kept in the cellar, but not abusively....
Bowie High School	It's rumored that a man was either killed during the building of the school or was a custodian there, and we have nicknamed him "Leonard." He lives in the catwalk in the auditorium, and has reportedly thrown small rocks onto the stage. Noises have been heard like machines going off in the shop room, and bells chiming in the catwalk. One student was spit on during a rehearsal for "Grease" in 2000. The left side of her face was wet, and no one was standing on that side of her.
Cinemark Tinsel town 9	Supposedly, during the construction of the theater, a construction worker died while making the sixth theater. Customers say they have seen a chair move or actually see a guy sitting next to them when there wasn't before and get up, start to walk away, and disappear. Many employees have reported objects being moved when their back was turned and weird or banging sounds & the door shutting in the projection when there was nobody around.
Grand Prairie Memorial Cemetery	Strange blue lights, a girl in a long white dress runs across the road in front of your car and disappears
Palace of Wax and Ripley's believe it or not.	Believed to be haunted by victims of a fire. Strange presence felt, electrical malfunctions that could not be explained, strange noises Like Bells & someone screaming, the motion detectors would go off and there wouldn't be any one in the building but a few staff members.
Parklane Apartments	Noises in bedrooms, hearing babies cry, faucets turn on and off.
