The Hotel Where Everybody Stays: The Menger Hotel (Texas)  
Podcast: Haunted American History
Published On: Mon Aug 24 2026
Description: Two hundred feet from the Alamo stands a hotel that has never closed its doors. Presidents slept there. Theodore Roosevelt recruited the Rough Riders from its bar. Gunmen died beside its mahogany counters. And for more than a century, guests and employees have reported that some of the Menger Hotel's former occupants never actually left. A murdered chambermaid still carries towels through the third floor. A cattle baron walks through a wall where his bedroom door once stood. Roosevelt apparently still enjoys the occasional drink. And a man in buckskin has one question for guests unfortunate enough to encounter him alone: Are you gonna stay, or are you gonna go? T onight, we check into the Menger Hotel...where somewhere between thirty and forty-five ghosts are said to have already answered.
