Paramount Theatre sightings

The Paramount Theatre, a historic performing arts venue opened in 1915, has been the focus of ghost stories from performers and employees who report unexplained noises, cold spots, and occasional sightings back stage and in the balcony. These anecdotes have been recorded in local media and are frequently mentioned on guided ghost walks of downtown Austin. The theatre’s management and historians treat the accounts as part of the building’s folklore, and the reports are disputed.
