Visit the Austin, Texas, where the dead speak and have many tales to tell. Take a macabre guided tour that includes the most haunted hotel in Texas, the stately Driskill; the Speakeasy, where ordering "spirits" has a different meaning; and the Paggi Blacksmith Shop, where at least one tenant is still laughing, years after he died. Discover the possible connection between Austin's first serial killer and Whitechapel's most notorious madman. Find out what happens when the sun goes down and the bats take fight in one of Texas' most unusual and fascinating cities. It seems, in Austin, no one can escape the dead. AUTHOR: Scott A.
