What To Expect

Texas Capitol

The Capitol building, completed in 1888, is said to be haunted by the ghost of Comptroller Robert Marshall Love, who was shot at his desk inside the Capitol. Visitors have also reported seeing a lady in red and mysterious handprints on the windows

Paramount Theatre

As we gather outside the majestic Paramount Theatre, you'll feel the weight of its storied past. This grand old venue has been a cornerstone of Austin's cultural scene since 1915. But beyond its elegant façade lies a spine-chilling tale that has haunted the theatre for years.

The Driskill

Our next stop is the iconic Driskill Hotel, a landmark that has stood at the heart of Austin since 1886. This grand Romanesque building is not just known for its opulence and history, but also for the numerous ghostly encounters reported by guests and staff alike.

Speakeasy

On July 23, 1916, a fire at the three-story Kreisle Building located at Congress Avenue and 4th Street began just after 1:00 pm. Initial reports described fire coming from the rear of the Bell Motor Company; soon afterward, explosions were heard……..

The haunted ghost tour was the perfect way to end a fun day out on the city. My tour guide Jamie made the experience fun, informative, and memorable. Not really the biggest paranormal fan but the history and storytelling made the entire excursion entertaining. 10/10

Do it!!! Absolutely do it!!! Jamie was right on time (actually early), super friendly and engaging. His knowledge of Austin’s history, culture and, yes, crime was thorough and fascinating. His theater background was well shown in his delivery, keeping our attention the entire time. Additionally, Jamie humored me with a walk by of some special requests - so if you’re curious about speakeasy’s he knows where they are 😉. You will not be sorry if you join Jamie on one of his tours!

Jamie was Amazing in his storytelling! We got History, Murder and Mayhem. My family was thoroughly entertained by the stories. I wish I could’ve tipped Jamie for taking care of my family last night but he insisted only on a review and so I wanted to be sure to leave this review on just how amazing he truly was! Thanks again Jamie!
