Welcome to Haunted History

The historic town of Jefferson, Texas, has long been a magnet for paranormal enthusiasts, with the Jefferson Palace Hotel at the center of its ghostly tales. Just a 45-minute drive from Shreveport, you'd think more people would have dared to explore its eerie halls by now. But this spooky spot is enough to keep even the bravest souls at bay.

I’ve followed the Jefferson Palace Hotel on social media for a while, drawn by the allure of its supernatural reputation. Yet, despite the intriguing updates, I've never found the courage to step inside. "Some road trips are better left untaken," I remind myself, preferring the safety of observing from afar.

Meet The Doll Room

The hotel recently caused a stir online, thanks to an unsettling weekend in Room 14, infamously known as "The Doll Room." Owners Jeromy and Pam Jones shared via Facebook an eerie encounter reported by their guests. While out of the room, one of the dolls allegedly hurled itself across the space. Later, with guests seated, another doll reportedly moved before their eyes. "The energy was off the charts," the staff shared, solidifying The Doll Room's spine-tingling reputation.

“A doll throwing itself across a room? Absolutely not.”

For those thrilled by eerie porcelain residents and mysterious happenings, the Jefferson Palace Hotel is right in our backyard. Book your own hair-raising visit at jeffersonpalace.myshopify.com – just don't expect me to join you!

Local Thrills and Chills

While you're in the mood for a scare, consider diving into some horror films set in nearby Louisiana. From "Cat People" in New Orleans to "The St. Francisville Experiment," the region is ripe with chilling tales. Other spooky flicks include "Interview with the Vampire" and "Hatchet," both set against Louisiana's eerie backdrops. It's the perfect way to keep the creepy vibes going long after your haunted hotel adventure.
