Summary

In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX, where ghost stories have become part of the venue’s lore. Visitors and staff share tales of cold spots, shifting objects, and a shadowy figure known to appear in the balcony. Some say these occurrences are the result of residual hauntings—fragments of the past replaying endlessly within the theater’s walls.

But could there be more to these experiences? Tony explores both paranormal and psychological theories, questioning whether the theater’s storied history has created the perfect setting for ghostly encounters—or if the mysteries of the Paramount are simply part of the show.
