Do you hear the door opening and closing when no one is there? Do you smell cigar smoke, but no one in the house smokes? Do your cabinet drawers open on their own? Are you afraid of ghosts?
At more than 150 years old, The Neill-Cochran House Museum is ripe for ghostly experiences. The Neill-Cochran House Museum is teaming up with the Original Austin Ghost Tours for a chance to discover ghosts within our walls. By telling their story perhaps they will make an appearance, so be prepared to learn the truth about ghosts and have an encounter of your own! Come join us for your chance to hunt for ghosts and learn about the haunted history of the Neill-Cochran House Museum.
This event will begin outdoors, and groups of no more than six will be admitted into the house at ten-minute intervals, and last for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. The first tour will begin at 5:20, and the last tour will begin at 9:00. Tour times will be based on a first-come first-serve basis. So show up early to get your preferred time slot!
Afraid of COVID-19? There are no hauntings here! The Neill-Cochran House Museum has worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of all guests, performers, and staff at all times. In addition to the staggered entries into the house, staff will be monitoring crowd size to ensure safe social distancing. All guests, performers, and staff are required to wear masks at all times while on our site. We will also have hand sanitizer stations at the entrance and exit to the house, as well as on museum grounds.
