Miss Molly's Bed and Breakfast
Miss Molly's Bed and Breakfast hotel is the oldest Bed and Breakfast in the Fort Worth, Texas area. Located in the middle of the Fort Worth stockyard area, it was founded in 1910 as a boarding house, it turned into a brothel in 1940. The location certainly has its fair share of history in the Wild West, and prohibition days. Although it is currently a hotel, it no longer serves as a bed and breakfast.
The hotel has seven rooms, all of which surround a central parlor area, accessed via the staircase. The rooms really haven't changed much since their earlier days and six of them share a central bath area. If you would prefer a private bathroom, then you should check out Miss Josie's room, which was previously the madam's room when the hotel was used as a brothel. When my husband and I stayed for an evening in 2017, we stayed in the "Railroader" room, which as you can tell by the name, pays homage to the men who worked the railroads and the importance of them in the development in the Fort Worth area.
It should be noted a head of time, that this hotel is VERY noisy at night as there are many bars right below the hotel, and they stay open until about one in the morning. When I stayed there I did not do any sort of recording, as any evidence captured would have to be questioned on its validity. With that said, my husband and I did have some interesting thing happen throughout the night. The front door of the hotel is locked at all times, and guests are given a key. There is an old fashioned bell on the door, to let the owner/manager know when some comes and goes. After going out for dinner, my husband came back to the hotel and shut the door tightly behind us. As we proceeded up the stairs, the bell suddenly rung as though someone had opened the door. We stopped and locked to see who was also coming in, and there was no one.
Throughout the night we also heard unexplainable noises in and footsteps throughout the night. We could hear footsteps going up and down the stairs, and wandering about in the central parlor area. Upon looking out of our room, there would be no one. We also heard footsteps in our room. It was certainly and interesting night with very little sleep to be had, but one does not stay at Miss Molly's for a good night sleep.
What is the creepiest hotel you have stayed at?
