  1. When I was about 6 years old I visited this museum for the first time. I remember being in a tower and seeing what I thought was a dummy hanging from the noose. This man that I had seen had green skin. Barely last year I found out that there was never any dummies placed in that noose.

  2. This is terrifying. I haven’t heard about this event, but I’ve heard about others similar to this. People claim to see all kinds of scary things, especially in the late evening or early morning hours. I own a roadside assistance company in Edinburg and hope to never experience something like this when I’m out helping people at all hours of the night with their roadside assistance needs.

  3. So glad to see this!! I am an actual former employee of MOSTH in Edinburg. I was giving a tour in the old jail to a group of 8th graders from South Middle School. The group was ALL girls with 2 female teachers. While giving the tour in the hanging room a very loud whistle was heard, followed by a man voice saying “HEY!” I got on the walkie talkie to see if another tourguide was the voice. I got a very confusing reply. No one else was in there with my group…. I asked my group to hold on while I checked out the building. No one but the archives in the whole place. As I returned to the hanging, everyone was freaked and excited..so I got a lot of ” is this place haunted?” questions. As I tryed to finish the tour the hanging rope started to sway side to side quite forcefully. The museums official stand is NOT HAUNTED…but come on.
