Faust Hotel: This New Braunfels hotel is another reportedly haunted place. During an investigation in 2016, members of San Antonio Paranormal Investigations caught this photo of a child’s hand when the floor at the time was empty.

SAN ANTONIO – Within an hour, an Alamo Plaza icon was gone. The hat of the famous bandstand in front of the Menger Hotel was removed Friday morning and hauled to its relocation site. Last week, crews began dismantling the city-owned bandstand — a gathering place for both locals and tourists — as the city plans to restore and redesign the plaza. A camera showing updates on construction on Alamo Plaza will be shown online. The relocation of the bandstand is in line with a plan to redesign and restore the Alamo Plaza, which has garnered controversy in recent years.
