O. Henry Museum (Shaw House) paranormal reports

The O. Henry Museum (Shaw House), the preserved former residence of writer William Sidney Porter, is noted in local lore for occasional reports of unexplained sounds and sensations by visitors and staff. The house, operated as a museum downtown, is sometimes included in collections of Austin's haunted sites and local storytelling about the city's historic homes. These accounts are anecdotal and treated as part of the museum's folklore rather than documented evidence.
