History & Paranormal Activity

The BOQ at Fort Sam Houston — where Ulysses Grant and Robert E. Lee both stayed — is haunted by a cavalry officer who was court-martialed and killed himself in his quarters. Officers quartered here have reported a figure in Civil War cavalry uniform in the hallway, and multiple occupants of the same room have independently described waking to find it standing at the foot of their bed.
