Old Hauschild Opera House
This is a perfect little starting point. Located in Downtown Victoria, this, once opera house, has been home to numerous tenants. Some rumors floating around from a former tenant claiming to have heard furniture moving around upstairs, only to find the upstairs completely bare. At one point, this spot was vacated by an antique mall, and the dealers would open up in the morning, only to find their items randomly broken.

That being said, Salem bridge is a small, simple space located down Salem Road and has some pretty creepy stories behind it. This particular bridge is a hot spot for wrecks, and with the combination of its name and the creepy vibes, this bridge is a must-see spot to visit.

Yoakum Community Hospital
This next stop is sure to get those spooky vibes flowing. The Yoakum Memorial Hospital is a local favorite and has gotten quite a bit of attention from out of towners as well. Numerous paranormal investigators have visited this site looking for some juicy footage to back up some pretty wild theories. For example, one of the commonly told stories is of a nurse who worked in this hospital who was actually murdered in the hospital itself by her estranged husband one casual evening.
KSAT reported on this exact Hospital. In an interview with one paranormal investigator, Guillermo Fuentes from San Antonio was investigating the hospital one night with his crew. When they were on the second floor, Fuentes was suddenly grabbed by something and immediately turned on the lights to find three mysterious scratches on his arm.
