7.1 EXP | Haunted Austin: Murder Under the Moontower! Cattle Creeps and Goblins of 6th Street

🙉

Warning! Careful with the kiddos on this one...

It's a different kind of moonlight overhead in Austin.

As you walk the beer-stained streets echoing with comedy club laughter from a sold out show, and the distant sound of some local band covering Wagon Wheel... you can feel something even more sinister lurking in the night.

But fear not, my friend! Just step of darkness of the street and into the Driskill, and join us for a drink at the bar!

Sure, it may the most haunted hotel in Austin, but the drinks are good, the food is hot, and the girls are everywhere... mostly cause they're dead and the limestone traps them here... but still!!

But if you choose to stay out in the night, keep an eye out for the moontowers—tall, skeletal beacons illuminating the darkness. They're pretty cool, but a bit creepy when you consider the legend behind them and the evil that stalked from within the shadows of 19th-century Austin.

Tonight, we unravel the ghosts, the myths, and the lingering horrors of Texas’ strangest city. From Austin's Jack the Ripper and spectral brides to the lavish lives of the modern day vampire (or Glampires), dive with us deep into the strange side of Austin, TX.
