A great interview and documentary on our tour. It dives a little deep into the paranormal, but that's why you're here, isn't it.

Say goodbye to the Gateway Hotel, and hello to another La Quinta Hotel. The Houston based Patel Capital Group purchased the wonderfully haunted Gateway Hotel and plan to renovate the hotel completely with a bar, bistro, and gym.
It's sad that a company from out of town has to do this, but at least the city won't tear it down.

The Yule Cat is a giant cat who roams around Iceland searching for people wearing old clothes on Christmas Eve. When he finds them, he swallow them whole.
Iceland is weird.

On August 10th, 1680 the native tribes revolted against the Spaniards in Santa Fe and surrounding areas, killing many. They pushed the Spaniards, and natives who were Spanish sympathizers, all the way to what is now Vinton, Texas. On September 29th, 1680 Governor Otermín did a headcount. Nearly 800 out of 2,800 refugees had left. They stayed at an established campsite near the Rio Grande river called La Salineta, which had been used since about 1610. 2,000 people built temporary housing and lived there until they were transferred to what is now Juarez, after the river's water level subsided. Then they were moved to Ysleta, San Lorenzo, Socorro, Senecú, and San Elizario in 1683. In December of 1682 the order to use these missions as settlements, officially recognized by the Government of Spain, was written. It wasn't until sometime in 1683 that the people were transferred from La Salineta and Juarez to their new homes. It's possible that La Salineta was basically a town (unofficially) with 2,000 residents, 150 of them armed, for almost 3 years. Then it went back to being a campsite again.
Here's the question: Where, exactly, was La Salineta? The border between New Mexico and Texas presumably followed the Rio Grande in 1850, but where was the river in 1680 since Texas borders did not exist? If you live near the Rio Grande, you know that it used to move. A lot.

Well, it seems that the Conjuring House lost their business license and can no longer host tours. I hope the owner sells so a new owner can open it back up. If you're curious about the drama and chisme, see the link in the comments.

Nacogdoches has staked the claim as the oldest town in Texas, founded in 1779. However, there is a Texas town that was officially founded 97 years before before that. It's our very own Ysleta. Ysleta was founded as a town (pueblo) in 1682. They claim that Nacogdoches is claimed as the oldest town because it was built on the site of a Caddo Indians settlement, possibly dating back 10,000 years, but the history of the Caddo indicate that they didn't settle that area until around 800 AD. Well, the Mogollon people lived in the El Paso area as early as 200 AD, so we still have them beat by 600 years if they want to use that as a gauge. Spanish missionaries settled in the area starting in 1598 and used Ysleta as a refugee camp for the Piro Indians starting in 1675.
Ysleta is the oldest town in Texas. Period.
