Austin, Texas is a wonderfully haunted city. Its ghosts are more colorful than most, with the kinds of histories you’d expect from a “wild west” city. In fact, many of Austin’s ghosts linger because they want to, not because they’re stuck in our earthly plane.
These are the five places that I’d visit with [...]
Ghosts are seen and heard at the Texas Governor’s Mansion. That’s not news.
However, our deliberately blurred photo of the Mansion reveals some very interesting, possibly paranormal images. [Link: Austin - Texas Governor's Mansion photo.]
Many people sent us helpful comments. For example, several observant readers mentioned the ghostly apparition of the man [...]

A ghost picture…? We’re not sure.
At the 2003 New England Ghost Conference–at which Hollow Hill’s Fiona Broome was the opening speaker–a few of us were discussing whether some ghosts need an energy source to manifest.

It’s across from the second largest oak tree in Texas. Columbus is well worth the drive, especially early in November when they celebrate “Live Oaks and Dead Folks,” [...]
Columbus’ Opera House
Columbus, Texas, is conveniently located on I-10 at Highway 71, between Houston and Austin, and not far from San Antonio. It’s also a charming and delightfully haunted town.
We first heard about Columbus’s annual Live Oaks & Dead Folks Tour, which gets rave reviews. [...]
Austin, Texas has many ghosts. In researching Austin’s haunted places for my June 2007 book, The Ghosts of Austin, Texas, I found patterns to many of the hauntings. Here’s one of them.
The Shoal Creek Curse
O. Henry, the famous author and former resident of Austin, once wrote, “It is a well-known [...]
