Overview
Austin is full of scary stories (and we’re not just talking about the rent prices or traffic.) Join us on this delightfully ghoulish, 18+ adults-only, guided walking ghost tour that highlights some of Austin’s most haunted locations!
We'll also tell tales of other things that go bump in the night from Austin’s first serial killer to urban legends and even some cult activity.
The Ha Ha Haunted tour is a “boo-tique” experience where we take our storytelling seriously, but not ourselves! We strive to provide engaging ghost tours that honor the spirits we’re discussing without bogging them down with long historical asides you’ll surely forget about.
Please note: This tour is not a deep dive into Austin’s city history and is NOT a paranormal investigation, (the only building we’ll go inside is the Driskill Hotel when available.)
If you see a ghost in a window or have an unexplained experience, that’s a cherry on top! We’re simply purveyors of spooky tales.

What to expect
-
Texas State Capitol
10 min
We’ll start our tour outside the beautiful Texas State Capitol. We’ll discuss the ground’s urban legends (hello, buried gold?) and discuss the ghosts that still haunt the shadows of the building’s historic halls.
-
Texas Governor's Mansion
10 min
From the ghosts of Governor’s past, to phantom horses, to ghoulish Easter parties, we’ll stop in front of the Governor’s mansion where you can snap a quick pic and learn of the many mysterious happenings in the building that occur to this day.
-
Paramount Theatre
10 min
A lady in white, missing candy bars and haunted projectors, a boy who loves magicians… all fitting ghosties for a storied theatre.
-
Angelina Eberly Statue
10 min
Here we’ll cover a brief history of what was once meant to be the tallest building in Austin ( truly laughable now), in addition to discussing a number of Texas urban legends like the Donkey Lady. We’ll also discuss some of the cults who called Austin home in times gone by… (and maybe even to this day?)
-
The Driskill
10 min
The Driskill Hotel isn’t just a beautiful building in the heart of downtown, it is also one of the most haunted hotels in the state. We’ll cover the most spirits here; from jilted brides, to little girls, portraits that seem to watch your every move, elevators with grumpy ghostly men, and more, we save the best for last and pack our final Ha Ha Haunted punch with our tour’s finale.
