About this list

Texas is a hotbed of unexplained events, from trivial to bizarre, and cool to creepy. With its vast size and large population, it's no surprise that UFOs, mysterious lights, and other eerie phenomena are frequently reported. However, the state's vastness can also be a hindrance, as many events are witnessed by only one person. To counter skepticism, some of the most compelling sightings on this list have multiple witnesses. The internet has made it easier to share stories of fireballs, strange creatures, and even Native American skin-walkers. If you're fascinated by weird, unexplained mysteries, this list of Texas phenomena is for you.
