Hauntings and legends at the Alamo

The Alamo, the 18th–19th century mission and 1836 battle site, is also a focus of local lore about paranormal activity, with some visitors and employees reporting phantom music, voices, and apparitions after hours. These reports have led to the Alamo’s inclusion in local ghost tours and informal paranormal investigations. Because the site is a major historical landmark, accounts of hauntings are widely reported but remain contested among historians and investigators.
