It’s hard to believe we are about halfway through October; there are just 17 days left until Halloween!
But there’s still plenty of time to get your fill of all things creepy, so why not hit the open road for a little drive around the Lone Star State!
To be fair, road trips in Texas are anything but little, but CultureMap Dallas put together a list of the best spooky road trips to take across Texas, for that wonderful mix of hitting the open road plus the fear of getting murdered by a supernatural entity with a machete while you’re filling up your car with gas.
Austin
Driskill Hotel
The Driskill is one of Austin's oldest operating hotels and is known for housing the spirit of Sam Houston's 5-year-old granddaughter. She sadly died at the bottom of the hotel's grand staircase and is said to still make an appearance periodically, especially on the hotel's 5th floor.
