Paramount Theatre ghost reports

The Paramount Theatre on Congress Avenue opened in 1915 as a vaudeville and movie palace and remains an active performing-arts venue. Over the years, staff and performers have reported unexplained noises, phantom footsteps in backstage areas, and intermittent unexplained lights; these reports are often mentioned in local articles and ghost-tour narratives. The theatre's long performance history and preserved historic interior contribute to its inclusion in Austin ghost folklore. Descriptions of specific incidents vary by source and are primarily anecdotal.
