Taken from the Lonesome Dove Inn website:

The Lonesome Dove Inn is located in Archer City, Texas, on the edge of the Great Plains. The area, settled in 1878, has historically been known for its rich land, its cattle and oil, its big ranches, and lonesome cowboys and their cattle calls.

The men did not settle this area alone, however. Pioneer women helped clear land and build homes as well, and brought to Archer County the music, art and literature of cultures in the border states and the South. It has been said that the area is characterized by rough men and genteel women. Both were tough. They survived and thrived in a land of drought and sandstorms, heat, cactus and mesquite.

The lonesome call of the cowboy was later replaced by the pumping sounds of oil rigs, which allowed many landowners lavish lives.

Today the combination of cultures - cowboy, rancher, driller and farmer - is laced with entrepreneurs, and art patrons. The old Royal Theatre, which burned down fifty years ago and was revived in memory by the town's most prominent native, Larry McMurtry, in his novel, "The Last Picture Show", has been rebuilt as a theatre for live performances.

McMurtry himself is rapidly turning the cowboy town into a Mecca for book lovers, bringing literary people from all over the country to browse his bookstores.

The Lonesome Dove Inn, named for McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the old West, is owned and managed by descendants of pioneer ranchers, teachers, and artists. Sisters, Mary Slack Webb (inn host) and Ceil Slack Cleveland (partner), understand the legacies of both cowboys and ladies, farming and finery, hard work and good taste. They welcome rodeo fans and sportsmen as well as book lovers and artists.

For peace and quiet, or a warm family gathering, The Lonesome Dove Inn is the place to be.

Newspaper reporter stated she was touched by entity, as did several other team members.

Young boy entity kept kicking one of the investigators on the leg.  Young boy entity says there is a nurse that roams the hall and she is not to nice to him, so he hides from her.

One of the entities enjoys mocking some of the investigators.

Temperature change under bed in Comanche Moon room. Was a cold spot one night that chilled investigators toes. Also an elderly woman whom seems a little distraught, and this sounds weird, but she is  upset that the bed is not in the right position

In the Cadillac Jack room, 2 investigators got really strange impressions from the mirror on the wall. In the rocking chair, one investigator said when she sat in it and leaned back, it was like she was taken to another time back to a turn of the century schoolhouse.

 Several investigators experienced cold air rush through them. Also the intense feeling that someone is watching you.

There seems to be a friendly energy orb there that we have nicknamed Casper.  Apparently Casper the friendly orb liked following us all around. We have pictures taken with several different cameras that appeared to have caught this same small orb following us, even when we went outside. Check the Lonesome Dove photo album to see Casper's adventures following us around. We feel it may be one of the children spirits.

Desert Rose room is quite interesting and active, same as the main room, the Texasville room.

Some of the names picked up were Jonathan, Caleb, Rose or Rosa, Samuel and Eliza.

When T.R.I.P.P. went to investigate the Lonesome Dove Inn, they were not the first team to do so. Another paranormal team had been to investigate as well and told Mary their findings. There are also numerous newspaper articles on display at the Inn that speaks about guest and family experiencing paranormal activity. We were appreciative that Mary let our team intrude, not just once, but three times. One of the times a few members just went for the experience of staying at the Inn.

Many of the team members had their own personal paranormal experiences while at the Inn, as well as did the Times Record News reporter that was covering the investigation for the newspaper. Unfortunately many experiences happen while there are no cameras or recorders to document it. The pictures below as well as the Evp recordings are just a small amount of what we experienced. Some of the evps are very clear, and some are faint, but you can tell something is trying to communicate. It is our conclusion after investigating the Inn several times, that it is indeed "Haunted" as Mary herself is already very well aware of. She has had other guests staying there that have picked up voices on their video cameras while just taking video of family, not knowing they were getting a little extra. If you want a wonderful place to lay your head for the evening and you are not afraid of things that go bump in the night, the Lonesome Dove Inn may be able to serve up more than just a bed and breakfast.
