Halloween is the perfect time for a story about one of Austin’s many supposedly haunted places. Ghost stories are everywhere here — from the Paramount Theatre to the Capitol. But the Driskill Hotel on Sixth Street might be the undisputed champion of supernatural destinations in Austin. KUT’s Ben Philpott enlisted the help of some paranormal experts to investigate.

This story premiered at KUT's ATXplained Live at the Bass Concert Hall on Oct. 23.

Reported by Ben Philpott. Produced by Deborah Cannon, Michael Minasi and Renee Dominguez.
