The Haunting
University of Texas is a reportedly haunted school or campus site in Brownsville, Texas. Reports tied to the site usually focus on a tragedy or violent past linked to the location.
Reported account from HauntTracker: Was known as Ft. Brown during and after the Civil War. It was occupied by both Union and Confederate troops. Soldiers, horses, cavalry officers, etc haunt it. The buildings that house the University are historical monuments. Sightings and sounds have been experienced in almost every building on campus.
- December 2004 – additional information - The last battles of the Mexican American war occurred in Brownsville. One of the battles was the siege on Ft. Texas (later named Ft. Brown, in honor of Maj. Jacob Brown who died in the siege) It started May 3rd and ended May 9th, 1846. There were only 2 Americans killed and 7 wounded, so the hauntings (or occurrences) are likely related to residual hauntings. (Or from the Mexican army that was slaughtered both at the fort and at the other two battle sites).
If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
