Miss Molly’s Bed and Breakfast
Miss Molly’s Bed and Breakfast is located in Fort Worth, Texas. It is situated in the middle of the Fort Worth Stockyards and is the oldest bed and breakfast in the entire city. It was established in 1910 originally as a boarding house and was called the Palace Room. It would then go on to serve as a bordello in the 1940s under the name of the Gayatte Hotel. Miss Molly’s has been called home by a diverse and large number of people.
There are seven themed rooms in the hotel and they all have specific ghost stories attached to each. The Cattlemen’s and Cowboy rooms have the most famous sightings of ghosts.The current owners private rooms are numbers eight and nine and are also continually visited by a ghost.
The ghost is the spirit of a young girl who was once a tenant of the hotel. Most of the ghost sightings here however are those of former workers of the bordello when the establishment served as one. Paranormal experiences at the hotel include full body apparitions, strange scents, items that vanish and reappear at random times, cold spots, lights turning on and off, and unlocked doors that sometimes won’t open. One of the former housekeepers at the hotel actually quit her job because one of the rooms she cleaned would always have old fashioned coins lying around and they would always re-appear the next day after she put them away. Miss Molly’s is considered to be one of the most haunted pieces of land in all of Fort Worth, Texas.
