Bachelor Officers Quarters — Fort Sam Houston

San Antonio

Historic Site Moderate Activity

History & Paranormal Activity

The BOQ at Fort Sam Houston — where Ulysses Grant and Robert E. Lee both stayed — is haunted by a cavalry officer who was court-martialed and killed himself in his quarters. Officers quartered here have reported a figure in Civil War cavalry uniform in the hallway, and multiple occupants of the same room have independently described waking to find it standing at the foot of their bed.

🔒 Classified Field Investigation Notes

The court-martial record for the officer was expunged from Army records during a 1902 administrative review — three separate soldiers preserved handwritten copies, now in private collections, that contradict the official account of his death.
