The Woodlands, Texas is Haunted

Back in the early 1970s, no one had heard of the Cinemark Theater off Highway 45 just North of Houston. That’s because it didn’t exist. What did exist though was a trailer park full of rundown mobile homes.

In the summer of 1971, a fire consumed the homes and several of the residents there. It is rumored that the man who started the fire did so in order to hide the murder he committed. Stanley was a 12-year-old mentally disabled boy who lived with his mother and younger sister in the Sunrise Mobile Home Park. A new manager, Rick, lured Stanley into his trailer with bubble gum and then committed unspeakable acts that ended with Stanley’s death.

Many years later, the Cinemark Theater was built on the land where the trailer park once stood. Some nights in one of the theaters, a boy can be heard screaming just before the trailers start. Other nights, a boy runs down the aisle, and then out the exit door. But that exit door never moves. Moments later, an imposing shadowy figure follows him.

Boys that sit alone at the theater say they have been approached by a man who asked to sit next to them, but disappears before the movie is over.

Draw your own conclusions. But I would be very careful. If you’re ever in the dark theater and you smell a sudden whiff of sweet chewing gum, tell Stanley to go home. I bet his momma misses him.
