Activity itinerary

Texas State Capitol (Pass by)

At this first stop, travellers 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.

Texas Governor's Mansion (Pass by)

Travellers will pause outside the historic Texas Governor’s Mansion, one of the oldest continuously occupied governor’s residences west of the Mississippi. The audio storey 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.

St. Mary's Cathedral (Pass by)

At this Gothic Revival landmark, travellers will discover how faith and fear intertwine within Austin’s oldest Catholic church. The audio storey explores real 19th-century history and chilling legends — including the monk whose spirit still bakes phantom pastries.

Paramount Theatre (Pass by)

Travellers 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 Stephen F. Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel (Pass by)

Travellers 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 (Pass by)

At Austin’s grand Driskill Hotel, travellers 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 (Pass by)

At this iconic Sixth Street bar, travellers will uncover the dark storey 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 (Pass by)

At this preserved limestone home, travellers will encounter the storey 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...
