"AUSTIN The Tavern in Austin has been around for over a century, and in that time it’s functioned as a grocery store, a casino, a brothel, and, of course, a pub. It’s said to be haunted by a ghost named Emily who likes to tap, pinch, or otherwise prank guests upstairs. They also have a burger called the Cheese Blanket that sort of feels like its own haunted prank. " - anne cruz
