All may not be as it seems in downtown Houston, where the spirits of long-gone residents occupy the streets as if they were still alive. Experience spooky stories and unexplained events as you visit some of the most haunted spots in the city—and steady your nerves with a few drinks along the way.

Meet your fellow ghost-hunters in downtown Houston and head off to explore the area's eeriest locations. As you follow your guide down the shadowy streets, be transported back in time with stories of ghostly pirates, Confederate soldiers, and victims of murder out for revenge.

Listen to the tale of the husband and wife who pull the hair of diners at Spaghetti Warehouse, and the angry spirits of doctors, patients, and nurses who haunt the building that was once a psychiatric ward. Feel the hair on the back of your neck start to stand as learn about the rattling doors and shaking beds at the Rice Hotel, the place where JFK spent his last night before his assassination.

Along the way, pop into 4 haunted pubs for some wine, beer, or a martini. Enjoy a drink or 2 while you hear about flying plates, creaking floors, and breaking glass, as well as the phantom of the former bartender that can be seen in the oldest bar in town. Before you say goodbye to you guide, you may just have a spirit sighting of your very own.
