Elisabet Ney Museum ghost stories

The Elisabet Ney Museum, housed in the former studio of sculptor Elisabet Ney, is included in Austin ghost-tour itineraries and local accounts that describe odd noises, moving objects, and occasional reports of apparitions by visitors and staff. These tales are recorded in local guidebooks, oral histories, and paranormal tour narratives and are treated as anecdotal urban legend related to the museum's historic atmosphere. The museum documents Ney’s life and work while also being a locus of performing-arts and folklore-based storytelling in Austin. The reports remain part of local lore and are not empirically verified.
