French's Ghost Still Haunts the Museum to This Day
Located in Beaumont, Texas
The John Jay French Museum in Beaumont, Texas is a historic home that is said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, John Jay French. French was a prominent lawyer and businessman in the 19th century, and he built the museum as a private residence in 1845.
According to local legend, French's ghost still haunts the museum to this day. Visitors have reported seeing strange shadows, hearing footsteps and mysterious noises, and feeling a presence in certain rooms of the house.
One of the most well-known ghost stories associated with the museum involves a ghostly figure that has been seen standing at the top of the stairs. Some say that this ghost is French himself, still guarding his home even after his death.
Others have reported seeing the ghost of a woman wearing a white dress, who is believed to be French's wife. She is said to roam the halls of the museum, particularly in the bedroom where she passed away.
There are also stories of objects moving on their own, doors opening and closing on their own, and unexplained cold spots throughout the museum.
Despite these eerie reports, the museum is still a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for tours. Many visitors come to experience the paranormal activity for themselves and see if they can spot any ghosts.
If you're feeling brave, you can even take a nighttime tour of the museum, where you'll be guided through the dark, haunted halls by a paranormal investigator.
