MANSFIELD
Located just 30 minutes from Fort Worth, Mansfield is an amazing city to live in or visit! Not only is the location great, but the town is full of entertainment, things to do, and even lots of restaurants. One of our favorite things to do there is explore the historic and haunted sites -- read all about them below!
ANDIMAC CANDY SHACK
Footsteps walking across the creaky floor when no one is upstairs, objects moving on their own and that feeling that you aren’t alone, have all been reported at Mansfield’s favorite candy shop. Perhaps it’s the spirit of Mrs. Peck. A regular patron of Main Street shops in her life, until she was brutally slain by her husband in a shocking murder/suicide, now it’s said she still visits her favorite shops!
FARR BEST THEATER
Opened in 1917 as the first theater in the tiny town with lights turning on and off by themselves, objects tossed from the balcony, shadow figures on the stairs, and disembodied voices aren’t just rare encounters. Multiple ghosts haunt the theater: the Ghost of MacDougal, Milton Farr, and more.
MAN HOUSE MUSEUM
The original homestead of Ralph Man, one of Mansfield’s two founders, is now a perfectly preserved museum taking visitors back to the late 19th century in Texas. But the ghosts of the Man Family never left because the spirits of Ralph, along with both his first and second wives, are said to still dwell in their old home.
MANSFIELD HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The Mansfield Historical Museum is filled with historical artifacts and also happens to be the spot where where John Guess, a local lawyer, perished after he was gunned down by his own nephew.
CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CEMETERY
The historical cemetery features elaborate tombstones and the burial sites of some of Mansfield’s most prominent residents including Ralph Man, Julian Feild, and Constable Robert Morison who was murdered on Main Street by bootleggers. (Featured header image)
