Texas has an incredibly rich and storied past, so it makes sense that our state is often named among the most haunted in the U.S. Next time you're in Austin and feel like having a little frightening fun, head on over to Haunted ATX and get to know the Capital City from a whole new - and much creepier - perspective. You'll visit some of the most notoriously haunted places in Austin, and you can even ride in a hearse! This is by far one of the best haunted tours in Austin!

Austin's only mobile ghost tour, Haunted ATX takes riders on a three-hour trip to the spookiest spots in the Capital City.

Those who dare embark on this tour of haunted places in Austin can choose to be chauffeured in either a van or - even creepier - a real hearse.

Hearse tours are private, meaning nobody outside of your group will be in attendance for this haunted tour in Austin.

Ticket prices vary based on how many people are in your group.

Bus tours, in contrast, are public, with a maximum capacity of 11 guests.

But whichever Haunted ATX tour you choose, you won't be disappointed.

The tour will pick up and drop off anywhere within a few miles of downtown Austin, visiting such notorious haunted places in Austin like The Tavern, Clay Pit, and Driskill Hotel in between.

Paranormal activity is a regular occurrence - even if there are empty seats on the bus or hearse, don't be surprised if they've been filled by the end of the night.

Your guide is extremely knowledgeable about the haunted history of all the stops, so expect for the ride to be peppered with ghost stories sure to leave your hair standing on end.

For this reason, Haunted ATX isn't recommended for children under 13 - however, content can be tailored to younger guests on the private tours.

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes during this haunted tour in Austin, as you'll spend a good bit of time on your feet at each destination.

After all, how else could you witness the ghostly happenings for yourself? For example, the second floor of The Tavern was once (allegedly) home to a bootlegging operation and a brothel, and even bore witness to a murder. While the validity of those claims is questionable, nobody can deny the firsthand experiences of staff members - many have reported seeing kitchen drawers fly open and TVs switch off and on!

The Clay Pit, a contemporary Indian restaurant, is also the subject of local lore, primarily due to its location in the historic Bertram Building.

Founded by German immigrant Rudolph Bertram, the building once housed a complex network of underground tunnels leading to brothels. As you can imagine, this place is crawling with ghosts! Even if you don't experience any unexplained phenomena here, it's still a super creepy spot to see.
