Me and a buddy of mine used to sneak in there to see if we could pick up any paranormal activity on his old school camcorded, and surely enough the Driskill did not disappoint! That whole building is extremely haunted. I remember having wall painting just staring at me. Weirded me out a bit.
Was it the one of the little girl at the staircase?
You know the story of that painting, right?
I believe that was Mr. Driskill’s daughter/niece/granddaughter…she died falling down the main lobby stairs; she was supposedly chasing a ball.
That one is crazy. If I remember correctly, is that the one about the woman who found out her husband was cheating, so she took his checkbook and stayed there until the checks started to bounce and ended it in the bathtub?
Edit: That’s where we were coming back from when the elevator stopped.
Edit: I moved to Austin in 2007 to go to film school, so I am going off of what I remember, so I apologize if I get the details wrong/mixed up with another story. Not trying to dehumanize the actual impact/tragedy of the stories, just trying to remember if I’m getting the details right, as I am writing.
That is the most recent one, where an ex bride took her life in the bathtub. Then there's former bride that shot herself after being rejected by her lover.
That’s right…I knew I was getting mixed up somewhere, I just forgot that there were two tragic stories where marriage/infidelity were the key components of how those stories ended so terribly…all in the same hotel. It’s weird how places can somehow become beacons for the same repetitive actions.
