You asked… and Captain’s Castle is answering 🖤

After last year’s immersive Halloween experience exceeded anything we could have imagined, we knew one thing for certain… The house would open its doors again.

This October, Captain’s Castle will welcome visitors every weekend for “The Mourning House” an immersive Southern Gothic experience inspired by real history, Victorian mourning traditions, grief rituals, whispered confessions, and the stories old houses refuse to forget.

This will not be a traditional haunted house filled with jump scares and chaos. Instead, guests will step into a candlelit world of mourning veils, secrets, tragedy, unsettling encounters, and psychological storytelling inspired by the real history of Jefferson and the traditions surrounding death and mourning in the Victorian era.

But this year, the experience expands…

NEW for 2026:
An interactive maze experience with changing challenges and objectives throughout the season. Some paths may lead you safely out. Others may lead somewhere else entirely.

Not interested in entering the house? The maze can absolutely be experienced on its own, and each weekend may offer something a little different. And yes, some doors may lead beyond the maze and into The Mourning House itself.

Halloween night will be different.

Instead of opening the house for tours, Captain’s Castle will bring the experience outside for the neighborhood and trick-or-treaters, with immersive actors, atmospheric scenes, and the maze open throughout the evening.

This year will be more immersive, more atmospheric, and more interactive than ever before while still preserving the emotional psychological storytelling experience that made last year so unforgettable.

Details, dates, and more glimpses inside The Mourning House coming soon.

For now…
just know that the house is remembering again. 🔥

The same stone that built the Texas Capitol built this. 🏛️

In Llano, Texas, they didn't just build a courthouse. They quarried the Hill Country itself and stacked it into something that was meant to last forever. The Llano County Courthouse is made from the same rose-pink granite that rises out of the Llano Uplift, the ancient bedrock of Central Texas, the same stone that workers hauled to Austin to build the dome that stands taller than the nation's. When Llano got its courthouse, they built it the same way they built everything else in that country: out of what the land gave them, and with the intention that it would still be standing long after the people who built it were gone.

It still is. 🌟

That pink granite catches the afternoon light in a way that makes the building look like it's glowing from the inside. If you've ever stood on the courthouse square in Llano on a clear Texas afternoon, you know exactly what that looks like. If you haven't, put it on your list.

Does your family have roots in Llano County or the Texas Hill Country? Drop a name or a town in the comments, we'd love to hear your story. 👇

History Haunts & Legends is this Saturday night, April 11, and Captain’s Castle is once again one of the official investigation locations.

This weekend’s investigation at the Castle will include Gina Lynelle Schaefer with Jefferson Paranormal Journeys, and we’re always excited to see what’s discovered when experienced investigators spend time inside the house.

The house has been especially active lately, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed it decides to show off while investigators are here.

With nearly 200 years of history inside these walls, this is one of the few places in Jefferson where you can actually spend the night inside a tour location.

Most people experience History Haunts & Legends by visiting the investigation sites.

Our guests sleep inside one.

And after the tours end, Parlour No. 403 will be open until 2 AM, just steps behind the house, a perfect place to unwind and compare stories from the night.

We still have a couple rooms available if you’ve ever wanted to experience a weekend like this from inside the Castle.
