This antiques store is rumoured to be haunted by three spirits from a historical era. Dating back to 1895, much of the paranormal activity, including strange noises and items being thrown by unseen hands, has been reported in the upstairs section of the shop.

I have tried shopping at Cobblestones and always feel like I am being watched. Just talking about the place makes my hairs stand on end. They recently acquired new ownership and changed names, but the spirits will most likely still inhabit the place. My personal belief is the spirits stayed behind during the days of the wagon trains that ran through Williamson County. The courthouse lawn had a “hanging tree” and I think some of the spirits are from the hanged. There is another store/restaurant on that same block called The Hollow that should be on the list.
On Dec. 9, 2012, I visited this place with a friend of mine from Austin. We spent only a little time on the bottom floor looking around before we decided to head upstairs. Upon entering the top floor, we noticed a great room containing mostly larger-sized furniture and mirrors. We were the only customers upstairs and were immediately drawn to the front of that floor. In there, a smaller, partitioned room with the shop’s front windows housed a few tables with smaller items like old photographs, dolls, doilies, lamps and dishes. As we began perusing and walking around the tables, I noticed an area containing several pairs of white, turn of the century leather ladies’ gloves. One pair was particularly small and especially old both in look and feel, as the leather was hardened and stiff. While holding these gloves, I remarked to my friend, “Why would anyone want to buy some of this stuff?” — it just seemed a little creepy to me.
We then headed out of that room and back toward the great room and the staircase. We might have been only halfway through it when a loud crash coming from the room we had just left startled us and caused us both to jump, look at one another and then backward at that front room. Needless to say, we started to hightail it down the stairs, but before I left, I said aloud, “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you with my comment. Please accept my apology.” I have never stepped foot in that building again.
