There's a reason Austin is so haunted: It's a city that has seen it all and, naturally, it’s shrouded in all sorts of horrors, so it’s well worth exploring! Enter: our Austin ghost hunt.

Storyline

You’ve come to accept them by now, the voices in your head. Even before you could understand them, they never stopped whispering to you, begging for attention, pleading. 
 
Your name is Ted Quigley and you can hear the voices of the dead. 
 
It’s never really bothered you. 
 
But when the day came that your little sister, a freshman in the same university as you, whispered to you after she drowned, you were broken. You now share a part of your life with your sister, wandering Austin in hopes that you'll meet her again...
