    Haunting Road Trips

    Hit the road for these 6 spooky trips to Central Texas

    Shannon McGarvey

    With Halloween approaching, it's time for a spooky road trip. In general, road trips are a fantastic way to break up the monotony of daily life and simply escape. Add a little seasonal spooky to that, and you're in for a real treat.

    The following destinations come with history and lots of lore, they are creepy and interactive, and — best of all — they are all in Central Texas.

    Grand Central Cafe
    The Grand Central Cafe wasn’t always a cafe — or even located in Kingsland. The Queen Anne-style Victorian cottage was the principal location in the 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which was shot in Round Rock. In 1998, the current owners purchased, dismantled, and moved the house to Kingsland, across the street from the historic Antlers Inn. The cafe offers American-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner options — with Leatherface nowhere in sight.

    1010 King Ct., Kingsland

    Victoria's Black Swan Inn
    Chances are you’ve never heard of Victoria’s Black Swan Inn. The Victorian-era mansion was built in 1867 on the site of the 1842 Battle of Salado Creek (now called The Battle of Rosillo Creek). The inn, which functions more as an event venue these days, has a history rife with tales of tragedy, and, purportedly, the hauntings to back it up. Experience it for yourself every Friday night on one of the inn’s popular ghost tours. If creeping around a haunted house at night isn’t your thing, the inn also offers brunch every second Sunday.

    1006 Holbrook Rd., San Antonio

    The Devil's Backbone Tavern
    Blink and you might just might miss this tiny roadside beer joint and live music venue. The Devil’s Backbone Tavern was built in 1932 and is situated at one of the most picturesque lookout points along FM 32 in Comal County. Inside you’ll find a charmingly aged aesthetic with old hardwood floors, stone walls, and even a bullet hole above the front window. Over the years, the Devil’s Backbone Tavern has garnered an almost cult status through its appearances in song (Todd Snider’s “The Ballad of the Devil’s Backbone Tavern”) and film (Drop Dead Sexy). It’s the tavern’s reputation for being haunted, however, that gives the bar an added, spooky draw. Be warned, this establishment is cash-only and shutters at midnight.

    4041 FM 32, Fischer

    Liberty Tree Tavern
    The Liberty Tree Tavern is the epitome of a Hill Country dive bar: old and friendly and replete with cold, cheap beer. The building dates back to the early 1900s and, at one point, was the site of the town funeral home and mortuary. Presumably, this fact is where the bar draws most of its ghost stories.

    117 N. Main St., Elgin

    Old Coupland Inn & Dancehall
    The Old Coupland Inn & Dancehall is probably the most popular place in Coupland. The building was constructed in 1904 and, over the years, housed a drug company, hardware store, newspaper offices, grocery, and possibly even a brothel. It is the latter that many blame for the alleged haunted activity onsite. Nevertheless, the Old Coupland Inn & Dancehall is a rare historical treat to behold, a slice of Texas history and culture about 40 minutes outside of Austin.

    102 Hoxie St., Coupland

    Caldwell County Jail Museum
    Spend the day locked up at the historic Caldwell County Jail Museum. The dominating red brick structure, built in the Norman castellated style of architecture, served as the fourth Caldwell County jail from the early 1900s until 1983. The five-story building contains nine main cells on the second, third, and fourth floors, as well as a basement, which served as solitary confinement (and storage). The jail cells are foreboding, claustrophobic, and quite spooky in their aged, untouched state.

    314 E. Market St., Lockhart

    Victoria's Black Swan Inn, in San Antonio.

    Air carrier JSX launches new route from Dallas to Santa Fe

    Dallas-based air carrier JSX is introducing an exciting new destination: The premium public charter jet service company is adding new seasonal flights to and from Santa Fe, New Mexico (SAF), from Dallas (DAL).

    According to a release, the inaugural flight is on May 22, 2025. Hey, that's today.

    Ahead of a busy summer travel season, Dallas travelers will be able to jet off to vibrant Santa Fe in style with JSX’s crowd-free, reliable, and accessible flight service, with industry-leading features including:

    • Allowing check-in just 20 minutes before a domestic flight from dedicated private terminals
    • No long check-in lines and fast state-of-the-art TSA-approved security screening
    • Bright, modern cabin interior featuring 30 seats with business class legroom, no middle seats, and power outlets at every row
    • Complimentary amenities for all customers such as two checked bags (including golf bags, skis, and snowboards), drinks, snacks, and cocktails inflight
    • Planeside baggage retrieval within minutes of arrival

    JSX was also the global launch customer for Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi and has offered this free on all flights since May 2023.

    Dallas to Santa Fe
    Nonstop flights between Santa Fe (SAF) and Dallas Love Field (DAL) begin on May 22, and will operate once a day, 5 days per week — through November 3, with fares starting from $349 one-way (based on roundtrip purchase).

    The flights are on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (although in June, the Saturday flights do not begin until June 28):

    • They leave Dallas at 1:15 pm and arrive at Santa Fe at 1:55 pm.
    • They leave Santa Fe at 2:30 pm and arrive at Dallas at 5:10 pm.

    Founded in 2016, JSX is a ‘hop-on’ public charter jet service that’s faster on the ground, more comfortable in the air, and is competitively priced.

    JSX provides up to 130 public charter flights daily to 26 business and leisure destinations across Arizona, California, Colorado, Mexico, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Texas.

    The flights to Santa Fe join JSX's service to Taos, which will begin on June 26.
