Why is Dallas So Haunted?
Like all states in our country, Dallas was first inhabited by Native Americans. In the early 18th century, the Spanish moved in and claimed the land. Then, the French came in and claimed the land. Throughout Dallas’s history, six flags have been flown over the city – France, Spain, Mexico, the Confederate flag, and the flag of the United States.
The area remained governed by the Spanish until 1821 and gained its independence from Mexico in 1836. This formed the Republic of Texas. In 1841 Tennessee attorney John Neely Bryan, accompanied by his dog Tubby and a Cherokee he called Ned, put a steak atop a bluff claiming the site. Two years later, he established the town of Dallas.
The most infamous piece of Dallas history is the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald. The President’s motorcade drove through downtown Dallas on Elm Street. From a building’s second-story window, Oswald shot at the President fatally wounding him. President Kennedy was pronounced dead thirty minutes later at Dallas Parkland Memorial. Hundreds witnessed the horrific event firsthand while thousands more watched in horror from home on the television.
Dallas has a trying and often treacherous history. Hostile Indians, prejudices, wars, and murders all paved way to the Lone Star state.
THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN DALLAS, TX
Grassy Knoll
Most famously known as the location of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, the Grassy Knoll is an infamous and eerie location. The spot’s history is palpable, with a distinct white ‘X’ marking exactly where the President’s assassination occurred. Medical examiners pronounced John F. Kennedy dead just thirty minutes after the shooting, solidifying the location’s legacy forever.
Sixth Floor Museum
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza also relates to the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy. Within the museum on the sixth floor of the Dallas County Administration Building, you can stand at the very spot where Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed the President. A mixture of historical photographs and artifacts helps to bring this chilling spot to life.
John Neely Cabin
Among the bustling streets of metropolitan Dallas sits a lone log cabin. It stands out from its surroundings enormously, and you would be forgiven for wondering why in the world it remained. The reason is that this cabin is the first house to have ever existed in Dallas. Originally built by John Neely Bryan in the early 1840s, the cabin has been sealed for decades but still enjoys frequent visitors. It’s in Dealey Plaza, not far from JFK’s memorial, where murderous events have stained the plaza for over 150 years.
