Gregg County Historical Museum Ghost Hunt

100+ Year Old History

Erected in 1910, the Everett Building remains as one of the last original facades, in downtown Longview, from and era long ago. Starting as Citizen's National Bank, they closed their doors in 1924. Even though the building changed several hands over the years, it wasn't until 1979 when the building was donated to the Gregg County Historical Foundation and became home to the Museum, with the same name.

The Gregg County Historical Museum is home to thousands of artifacts from the cotton era, oil boom, military moments, and even it's very own log cabin in the basement.

The street out front was the scene for a bloody gunfight on May 23, 1894, when the reformed Dalton Gang made one of their last robberies in Longview, Texas. Memorabilia and guns from this wild west moment is located inside the, still standing, bank vault of the Gregg County Historical Museum.

Paranormal Findings

Not many investigations have been done on this building. We've witnessed firsthand just how desperate the spirits within are willing to talk. Footsteps, taps, and knocks have been heard throughout the building on all three levels. Disembodied voices have been captured, and equipment spikes have been documented throughout the building. Feelings of uneasiness, sick to the stomach, and not being alone have been felt on the main floor and in the basement. Poltergeist activity have also been captured on film of a door opening and closing on its own accord.
