Ghosts! (June 8, 2022)

We met ghost tour leader Jared outside the Speakeasy on Congress Avenue for an evening of ghost stories and Austin history. The Driskill Hotel remodeled the fifth floor to get rid of the Suicide Bride suite after two jilted brides killed themselves and their ghosts were regularly seen.

The weirdest story was about the Austin serial killer who was never caught. The main suspect, a butcher, hightailed it to Galveston and sailed to London. Curiously, after his arrival, the Jack the Ripper murders began. Coincidence?
