The cemetery is that of the patients that expired in the early part of this century. But recently to show proof that this never took place a coffin popped out of the ground right next to one of the condemned buildings. - April 2005 update: the school has been torn down. If there was any evidence of the bodies, they have been removed."

Bedicheck Middle School

Some people even say that they see figures in their windows and sitting in chairs. On the 3rd floor of the Driskill Hotel in one of the hallways there is a painting of a little girl holding flowers, witnesses report when they all looked at the picture a weird sensation came over them. It was like something was lifting up the heels of their feet. It was like a tingling sensation. Causing their equilibrium to be off for the next few hours."

Harris Park

: "The family began to see objects moving above them at night, heard loud thumps in their attic, and every time the husband would come near his wife he''d feel an odd force pushing him away. They went around looking for old historical facts and information about their house. They found out that''s in 1985 a little girl named Doan was abused by her uncle and was raped by her cousin. She was later murdered by her uncle for telling her mother about it so now the family believes that she hovers around protecting any girl that is touched by a male."

Home Depot at Brodie Lane and US 290

: "This store is said to be haunted by a Ghost referred to by employees as "Fred". There is a supposed turn of the century grave yard nearby. People have reported seeing human figures in the outdoor garden section of the store. A visitor to the site thinks this may be her father. She states, "My father was a "craftsman" carpenter as some people call it and he built a lot of things around Austin and loved nothing better than to make things in his shop which was our garage. People would see the garage door open and stop to talk to him and he would help anyone who needed anything made. He was 74 when he died in his shop doing what he loved. He left me and my Mom in debt and a rundown house so we could only afford a cremation. I am a big believer that people should be buried where their happy doing what they loved. So me and my friend took my dad to home depot on brodie, mainly the garden section because their were people around. I let my father''s ashes go their because he had a love for making things and helping people. His name is Herbert, nick name herb. I am a little freaked out about this because I wanted to do right by him by placing him where he loved to shop and run up his home depot credit card! He is bald and short and Blue eyes, has always walked very fast so if someone sees him tell them not to be afraid just ask him for help and he will find it.""

Jacob's Hill

: "There is a bridge on a road beyond I-35 to the East, off of Wells Branch Parkway. If you put your car in neutral and turn everything off, your car will roll across the bridge. Supposedly the ghosts of two children who were killed by their father around the area push your car, away from their dangerous dad. - January 2007 Update: old bridge is long gone and has had a new one put up. And all the woods that used to surround the place are now houses."
