Questions & Answers

Is it haunted, in some areas?

When I was in 5th-7th grade, about 14 years ago, I walked Comanche hill regularly with friends/ family. I lived across the street. It always gave me an eerie feeling. I heard stories of satanic rituals there; sacrifice, and hangings in the tower. One time I was there with a friend and we walked off the beaten path. We noticed about 20 feet off the path, there was a table set up with three chairs and figures wearing black robes moving around the tables. It was still light out. Another time I saw a Native American spirit — full apparition walk right past my grandma and I. I turned back and looked and he turned back and looked at me as we passed each other. Besides his outlandish attire I remember feeling something weird about him. When we left and we’re driving in the car down Nachadoches, I looked out the window and there was the Native American spirit running at about 35 mph next to the car. Staring right in at me. I turned to yell for my grandma and he was gone.

Is it good to go in the evening? Me and a group of friends plan on going and getting there around 7. We plan to hopefully be done before sunset, but if not, will it be safe if we have flashlights in case it gets dark?

Dylan Merten | Nov 2, 2020
Prissy Dee | Nov 2, 2020

I would say yes if you stay on the trail however we did see many signs of people going off trail probably after hours and doing random things like drinking, sleeping so have caution on wandering after dark because there is many places to hide within the trees and brush.

Why did the tear all the other stuff down? We used to up there in the 80,'s. Should of seen it then. Several castles, a big round circle rock seating area. And the coolest was, best way to describe it was a basement if a building that wasn't there.

Jerry Melton | Nov 2, 2020
Emily Ann Ibarra | Nov 2, 2020

I believe the medieval-style castle is still standing. The other attractions possibly were worn down given you mentioned the 80's. Also there is more space for the trails and an overlook of the city where if you're lucky you can catch the sunrise and or sunset - the seating area you mentioned sounds nice. Now there are benches. I can say the mentioning of a basement not being there anymore is a good considering the crime rate.

What was the Comanche Park Tower used for

Richard Cappelli | Nov 3, 2019
Cheryl Farmer | Nov 3, 2019

I have lived by Commanche for 30 years, and came here with my friends as a teenager before it was a public park. There were actually 3 or 4 towers at one time. One was knocked down about 30 years ago. Supposedly for development. The last one was knocked down sometime after that (many years after.)
