Paramount Theatre ghost lore

The Paramount Theatre, opened in 1915 at 713 Congress Ave, is a historic downtown performance venue that began as a vaudeville house and movie palace. Staff, performers, and visitors have shared anecdotal reports of unexplained noises and sightings over the years, making the theatre part of local ghost lore and theatrical folklore rather than established fact. The Paramount continues to operate as a venue for films, concerts, and live performances and is a documented cultural landmark in Austin.
