Tickets for haunted tour of Texas Tech University on sale now - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Raider Power of the Paranormal, the student organization behind the event, runs the tour as its annual "frightraising" fundraiser. The route covers 13 locations across a 1.5-mile stretch of campus, guided by a lantern bearer at each stop, and takes about an hour to finish.

The 2026 tour continues a tradition of opening up Tech's campus after dark for Halloween. Anyone who has walked past the Administration Building or cut through campus near dusk in October knows Tech has no shortage of old buildings with a story attached. This turns that into something real, not just campus folklore passed around in dorm rooms.

For Lubbock folks looking for something to do once the weather cools off, this gives a reason to wander Tech's campus after hours instead of just driving past it on Broadway or Flint. It also means another fall tradition returns for students and families looking for a local alternative to the usual haunted house circuit. Tickets are already moving, so anyone wanting a lantern-lit spot on the tour should not wait until closer to Halloween.

Six years running, and Tech's campus still has enough ghost stories to fill 13 stops without repeating itself.
