Reported paranormal accounts at the Texas State Capitol

The Texas State Capitol, completed in 1888 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the subject of local reports of unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and occasional sightings attributed by some to historical figures or past legislators.
