Step into the Shadows: Austin's Sinister 19th Century (Adults 16+) Brace yourself for an after-dark journey into the grim underbelly of historic Austin. Our Murder by Gaslight Tour isn't for the faint of heart. As we wander through the gaslit streets, prepare to be captivated by chilling accounts of brutal crimes, tragic suicides, the terror of early serial killers, and restless spirits stubbornly clinging to their earthly haunts. Be warned, this immersive experience delves into mature themes that may not be suitable for younger ghost hunters. If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.
