Hauntings of The Driskill Hotel

The Driskill Hotel, built in 1886, has a long-standing reputation for hauntings and features prominently in Austin ghost stories and paranormal tours. Staff and guests have reported unexplained noises, sightings of apparitions, and objects moving; some local tales identify a young girl and a bearded man among the purported spirits. These accounts are part of popular folklore and remain debated; there is no definitive scientific evidence confirming paranormal activity. The hotel is a registered historic building and continues to draw visitors for both its architecture and its strange-story lore.
