Old Red Courthouse hauntings

Old Red Courthouse (now the Dallas County History & Culture Center) has long been the subject of local accounts reporting unexplained noises and alleged sightings tied to the 19th-century building. These anecdotal reports appear in local media and guidebooks as examples of Dallas ghost lore and are presented as unverified accounts. The Romanesque Revival courthouse dates to 1892 and today houses exhibits on county history while the haunting stories remain debated.
