About the Activity

This is a walking tour. The route is approximately 2 miles. Discover the sinister side of Austin on this top-rated 2-hour walking tour through downtown's most haunted and historic sites. Begin at The Tavern, once a Prohibition hotspot—and now home to the ghost of a girl named Emily. Step inside to see her shoes still on display. From there, visit eerie landmarks including the Texas Capitol, Paramount Theatre, and the Driskill Hotel, known for its tragic bridal suite and lingering spirits. Hear the chilling truth behind the Servant Girl Annihilator, the UT Tower shooting, and rumors of Austin’s modern-day “Rainey Street Ripper.” Explore the story of Angelina Eberly, the fight to keep Austin the capital, and see real paranormal photo evidence along the way. Expect laughs, goosebumps, and unforgettable stories from a passionate guide as you dive deep into the shadows of Texas history.
