French Legation Museum ghost lore

The French Legation, built in the 1840s and now a house museum, is Austin's oldest frame building and a documented historic site. Local ghost-tour itineraries and newspaper features mention anecdotal reports of unexplained noises and sightings at the property. The building's long history and public visibility have made it a frequent subject of folkloric accounts. Such paranormal reports are anecdotal and vary between sources.
