Location: Miss Molly’s Hotel, Fort Worth, TX
On a Thursday
night in mid-April, the SPI team (Don, Beverly, Hayley, John, and a family
friend, Karen) drove south into the historic Stockyards of Fort Worth. We were
headed to Miss Molly’s Hotel for the second time in hopes of once again
encountering the many “ladies of the night” who once worked in the building
when it was a bordello.
Our first
visit to the hotel took place in 2012, and it was quite a memorable experience
for all of us. Enough so, that we have all been interested in going back for
several years.
This trip was
not quite as exciting as the first, but there was still enough activity to let
us know the spirits haven’t left their residence. Our infrared cameras captured
orbs all throughout the night, and on multiple occasions the REM pod went off
with no one in the vicinity. The REM pod is a type of electromagnetic field
(EMF) detector that can be turned on and left alone. When something enters the
EMF field the device produces a loud beeping and colorful lights flash. We had
REM pod activity in the Railroader room as well as in the central landing area
at the top of the stairs. On several occasions we observed EMF pulses with the
K2 meters as well. We were not able to get anyone to answer specific questions
using either the REM pod or our K2 meters, but we weren’t able to find any
“normal” source for the EMF pulses either.

We also had a
few instances where something turned a flashlight on and off, but we weren’t
able to get anyone to interact with us this way to answer questions.
On our first
visit to Miss Molly’s we ended up with some very interesting EVP recordings
throughout the night. The spirits were not as talkative on this return visit,
but we did capture one interesting clip. The hotel has two adjacent rooms
called “Cowboy” and “Miss Amelia.” Miss Amelia was an employee of the
establishment who frequently visited the Cowboy in the adjoining room. Don went
into Miss Amelia’s room and began asking questions. When he first asked for
confirmation if the spirit in the room was Miss Amelia, he got back a very
prompt confirmation of “Amelia.”
The only
really personal encounter we had happened again in the Railroader
Room. At
around 1:30 in the morning, John went into the room alone and laid down on the
bed. While he lay there, he had a K2 meter lying on the bed beside him. This
flickered off and on intermittently as the REM pod had done in there earlier.
At one point, the infrared camera captures an orb that crosses the room and
swoops down over John’s leg. Just after the orb disappears, you can see John rise
up and look towards his leg. After John came out of the room just a few minutes
later he reported that something had touched his leg while he was laying on the
bed. When he saw the video, he confirmed that the touch he felt is what made
him raise him and look down at his feet. It seems like that particular orb was definitely
more than just “dust.”

Our return
visit may not have been as eventful as the first, but enough happened that we
know the many spirits of Miss Molly’s are still alive and well, keeping the
guests of the Stockyards company.
