Just a block from the old town square in New Braunsfels, Texas, You will find an old four story hotel that holds a reputation of one of the most haunted hotels in Texas. Beginning some time after the death of the hotel's founder in 1932, a remarkable series of events began at the Faust. Furniture on the 4th floor began rearranging virtually every night. Some guests have reported seeing old Walter on the 4th floor to this day, commenting on how dashing he looks on his period suite and tie. He is also blamed for resetting old fans in the hallway to high and opening doors for guests as they approach the front door. The doors are very heavy and have never opened by themselves, even in near tornado conditions. The second floor has a second ghostly presence; a man in what is reportedly turn-of-the-century dress, who is seen walking into a elevator. After several sightings, both regular guests and hotel employees decided they want to see who this man was, only seeing him from the side and back hallway, One of the employee did have the opportunity to get a good enough look to identify him as the man from the photo on the second floor who is pictured with his wife. Other ghost hunters have tried to beat the man down the single flights of steps to meet him face to face in the lobby, but all have failed. While the 80-year old elevator is slow enough, the elevator always arrives at the lobby without its passenger.
