Hauntings in the Heart of Austin: Downtown Ghost Walk

Hauntings in the Heart of Austin: Downtown Ghost Walk

Aperçu

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.

Overall, I was pleased with our experience. The guide was informative, knew a lot about the subject, and had a nice flow for the walking portion. There was a good balance of story telling vs. factual information, so it was enjoyable regardless of whether or not you believe in ghosts. To me, ghost tours are history tours with the added benefit of ghosts! It was also nice to hear about the history of downtown Austin and specific hauntings that have occurred. My only feedback was that I wish there were "more". More stories and more stops! I also think the stories can be told in a way that is more interesting... with more build and structure to them. But, this comment is very nitpicky. The stories themselves are interesting enough. Revising the way these stories are told would go a long way for this tour (sentence to get you hooked, big picture what was happening in the city, getting into the storyline, dramatization, strong conclusions, etc.). They're a newer tour group, so they're likely working through a lot of this anyway!

We very much enjoyed our walking tour with Emily, our guide. She was sweet and you can tell that she really has a passion for researching and verifying the true history of the stories she tells. I loved that she is a history nerd that wants to share her knowledge with others. Since the haunted tours are relatively new, Emily was still getting into the flow and rhythm of her story telling, but she does truly know her stuff. So I highly recommend that you give this a try!

Once again, I had a great experience with Nitty Gritty City Tours. Emily did not disappoint with her story telling and engaging tales. A must do for any ghost tour aficionado.
