This tour, unlike any other, marries stories of first person ghost encounters, ghost lore, and historical insights to bring you a spine-chilling exploration of Downtown Austin (Austin's original square mile est. 1839.)
Our hauntings begin at the iconic Driskill Hotel. Did Jesse Driskill leave more than just his legacy in this building when he passed away in 1890? Those who stay overnight in the annex sure seem to believe so. These haunted stories are served with a side of history. Our journey includes 8 haunted points of interest and culminates at the Texas State Capital Building , where mischievous and perhaps vengeful spirits play eerie games and terrify anyone who dares to work overnight shifts.
What's Included

This tour ends near the south gates of the Texas State Capitol Building. The south gates are at the intersection of Congress Avenue and 11th Street.
