Old Red Courthouse hauntings

The Old Red Courthouse (Dallas County Courthouse), a Romanesque Revival building completed in 1892 and now the Old Red Museum, is a frequent subject of local ghost stories and paranormal tours. Visitors and tour operators have reported anecdotes of unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and sightings within the courthouse over decades. These accounts are part of Dallas folklore and are anecdotal; the museum documents the building's history but does not present the paranormal claims as verified facts. Local media and ghost-tour literature commonly cite the courthouse as a reputedly haunted site.
