Menger Hotel alleged hauntings

The Menger Hotel, opened in 1859 beside the Alamo, is frequently cited in accounts of hauntings in San Antonio, with long-running stories of apparitions, disembodied voices, and objects moving without explanation. One well-known legend names a ghost called 'Jeffrey,' purportedly a former bartender; the hotel has been featured on television and in books about haunted places. The Menger's historical ties to figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and its documented 19th-century history are separate from the anecdotal paranormal claims, which are disputed.
