Overview

While you may know historic downtown Round Rock for its vibrant nightlife, live music, and dining, you’ll soon uncover a darker past lingering just out of sight. As you explore, you’ll notice that behind the charming storefronts and limestone buildings, the “New Town” of yesterday still echoes through the alleys and shadows around you. On In the Shadows, Spell Caster’s signature Round Rock Ghost Tour, you’ll dive into the legends, lore, and dark history of one of Texas’s most storied Wild West towns. After dark, you’ll walk the same paths once traveled by notorious gunslingers, uncovering chilling stories along the way. You’ll question why ghost riders are said to still gallop through the streets of “New Town” and whether these apparitions remain tied to the sites of their violent ends. From poltergeist encounters to lingering residual hauntings, you’ll peel back the curtain on Round Rock’s most unsettling secrets.
