What to expect
At this first stop, travelers will stand before the Texas State Capitol, exploring one of Austin’s most iconic landmarks while hearing about its violent past, tragic hauntings, and mysterious apparitions. The audio guide recounts real historical events — from Comanche wars and Civil War executions to political murders inside the Capitol — revealing why Austin’s seat of power is also one of the most haunted buildings in America.
Travelers will pause outside the historic Texas Governor’s Mansion, one of the oldest continuously occupied governor’s residences west of the Mississippi. The audio story reveals the legend of a Texas Ranger and a Comanche woman whose forbidden love defied war, duty, and death—said to appear hand in hand in the mansion gardens under the moonlight.
At this Gothic Revival landmark, travelers will discover how faith and fear intertwine within Austin’s oldest Catholic church. The audio story explores real 19th-century history and chilling legends — including the monk whose spirit still bakes phantom pastries.
Paramount Theatre
Travelers will stand before Austin’s legendary Paramount Theatre, a century-old stage that once dazzled with vaudeville and film premieres. The audio reveals the tragic tale of The Woman in Green—a young starlet whose betrayal led to her death and whose spirit, they say, still lingers among the lights, catwalks, and dressing rooms of this historic venue.
The Royal Sonesta Stephen F. Austin Hotel
Travelers will pause outside the historic Stephen F. Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel, an Art Deco landmark known for its elegance—and its ghosts. The audio recounts eerie tales from within, including sightings of the “Father of Texas” himself and chilling encounters tied to a mysterious 1970s murder in one of the upper-floor suites.
The Driskill
At Austin’s grand Driskill Hotel, travelers will learn how one of the city’s most luxurious landmarks became its most feared. The audio unveils the legend of a little girl’s tragic fall and the darker presence said to have taken her place — a chilling tale that’s made the Driskill synonymous with Austin’s haunted history.
Maggie Mae's
At this iconic Sixth Street bar, travelers will uncover the dark story behind its namesake, Maggie Mae, a 19th-century madam who ruled Austin’s underworld. The audio reveals how betrayal, violence, and smallpox turned her legacy into one of the city’s most notorious hauntings—where patrons still report flickering lights, cold touches, and mirrors that stare back.
Joseph and Susanna Dickinson Hannig Museum
At this preserved limestone home, travelers will encounter the story of Susanna Dickinson, one of the few survivors of the Alamo. The audio unveils how her courage and trauma linger within these walls — with visitors and staff reporting the scent of gunpowder, soft weeping from empty rooms, and a woman’s voice...
