5 Creepy Places Near Victoria You Need to Visit This Weekend

We finally made it to October, so let's stop pretending like we don't wanna do spooky stuff. If you’re anything like me, you don’t want to hear a ghost story; no, you want an excuse to go find one.

Victoria’s surrounded by some seriously creepy spots that are close enough to hit all in one weekend. Nothing too far, nothing too fancy, just you, some backroads, and a handful of places people swear still have a little extra company after dark.

Grab a friend who won’t chicken out halfway there, charge your phone, and fill up the tank. Here’s your road map for a Texas-style ghost hunt that’s more fun than frightening… most of the time.

Yorktown Memorial Hospital — Yorktown, TX

If you're looking for a spike of adrenaline, you're at the right spot. You don’t even have to go inside to feel this one. The hospital’s been empty for decades, but it still gives off that heavy, something-watching-you energy.

Presidio La Bahía — Goliad, TX

It’s calm in daylight, but the minute the sun drops, you’ll get it. Locals say the soldiers who died here during the Goliad Massacre never really left.

USS Lexington — Corpus Christi, TX

You’ll think it’s just a normal museum tour until you hear footsteps that aren’t yours. People swear the “Blue Ghost” got its name for a reason.

La Salle Monument — Indianola, TX

The ocean wind feels colder here, like it’s carrying voices you can’t quite make out. Some say it’s the explorer La Salle himself, still trying to find his way home.

Berclair Mansion — Berclair, TX

This house looks solid, steel, concrete, completely unshakable, but the air shifts when you get close. They say the sisters who built it never left, and honestly, it feels like they’re still keeping an eye on the place.

6th Realm Haus — Victoria, TX

This Victoria home has a heavy amount of history and documented activity. There continue to be a large amount of paranormal investigations at the 6th Realm Haus, earning it's rightful spot on the list. A perfect way to end the night if you're looking to capture a paranormal moment...
