Austin Haunting Ghost Story Walking Tour

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.
