Live Oak County Courthouse

Texas · United States · Manor

Children are heard playing and laughing here, and the account is careful to point out that no child was ever hurt or killed in the building.

People at this courthouse in George West, Texas hear children playing and laughing, and the original account adds something almost nothing else in this collection bothers with: no child was ever harmed or killed in the building.

That sentence is why this entry is kept. Somebody reporting a haunting went out of their way to remove the tragic explanation rather than supply one.

In the district courtroom there is a portrait of a former district judge whose eyes follow you around the room.

A further account concerns what happens if you do a particular thing there.

Eyes that follow are a well understood effect of how a portrait is painted, and a judge looking down at a courtroom is doing exactly what the picture was hung to do.

The courthouse is a working county building.
