Is Texas Governor’s Mansion haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Texas Mansion is the '56 — the 'Pease' that's the first, the 'oldest west' that's the Mississippi. The 'arson' is the '08 — the 'Molotov' that's the thrown, the 'contents saved' that's the stored. The 'Houston' is the '61 — the 'no Confederacy' that's the decided, the 'writing desk' that's the Austin's.

The 'suicide' is the nephew — the 'Murrah' that's the governor, the 'ghost' that's the acquired. The 'Greek Revival' is the Cook — the 'Bastrop pine' that's the columns, the '$14,500' that's the appropriated. Texas Mansion is the restored — the '4th oldest' that's the continuous, the 'still occupied' that's the governors.

The file keeps Texas Mansion: the 1856 Pease, the 2008 arson, the Houston decision, and the nephew ghost.

Texas Governor's Mansion is the archive's Austin file — the burned treasure.

A mansion keeps its desk — the file's suggestion being that Texas's hold is the emptied: the 'arson' that's the saved, the 'Houston' that's the refused, and the 'oldest west' that's the continuous.
