Geocache Description:


This cache is in a series called "Haunted Lubbock" modeled after the Haunted Amarillo series. These caches are placed at supposedly "haunted" places in the Lubbock area. Want some creepy night caches? Try these.

This cache is located by the Pioneer Hotel. The hotel, located at Broadway and Avenue K, was built in 1926 as a community-funded project that was in response at that time to a city housing boom. It was used to host celebrations, civic functions and other major events. It is currently being renovated by McDougal companies. It was the tallest building in Lubbock until 1955 when the now-named Lubbock Metro Tower was built.

Here is a personal report of the Pioneer and its spirits:

The Pioneer Hotel (downtown - now being renovated) used to be a retirement home. My great-grandfather stayed there briefly and talked of a woman who would knock on his door and when he answered it would walk down the hallway without saying anything. He was very annoyed. When he complained about it, the woman he described was identified by name as someone who was deceased. The next time it happened, he opened the door and called her by the deceased womans name. He said she walked down the hallway again. After that time, she never returned. Spooky story to tell the grandkids? He sure didn't tell it like it was just a story.
