Austin is full of scary stories (and we’re not just talking about the rent prices or traffic.) Join us on this delightfully ghoulish, 18+ adults-only, guided walking ghost tour that highlights some of downtown Austin’s most haunted locations!
We'll tell tales of other things that go bump in the night from Austin’s first serial killer to urban legends and even some cult activity.
The tour is a “boo-tique” experience where we take our storytelling seriously, but not ourselves! We strive to provide engaging ghost tours that honor the spirits we’re discussing without bogging them down with long historical asides you’ll surely forget about. (We also love a good pun...)
Please note: This tour is not a deep dive into Austin’s city history and is NOT a paranormal investigation. The only building we’ll go inside is the Driskill Hotel when available.
If you see a ghost in a window or have an unexplained experience, that’s a cherry on top! We’re simply purveyors of spooky tales.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet guests directly in front of the Texas State Capitol Gates. Please do not go inside the gates or up to the building itself, as that is NOT where your guide will be waiting for you with Ha Ha Haunting merch on! Please note: There's no restroom readily available from the start location.
This tour will end inside the lobby of the beautiful, historic, and haunted Driskill Hotel - a prime location for guests to kick off the remainder of their night! The end is approximately ½ mile from the tour start location.

As we head to our final destination, we’ll cover a brief history of what was once meant to be the tallest building in Austin (laughable now), in addition to discussing a number of Texas urban legends like the Donkey Lady.
