Our Story
Haunted Beginnings: How Our Tale Unfolded
2011
History and Haunts
Lauren Swartz was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and is a 12th generation Texan. Her love of history for the city of San Antonio and all things spooky led her and her husband James Swartz to open up Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours.

From Tours to Tales
The couple became published authors with The Haunted History of Old San Antonio, the best-selling ghost book about the city. Their work captures the eerie charm of San Antonio’s past, offering readers a deeper dive into its haunted tales.

Opening the Door to Oddities
Lauren and James took their passion one step further by opening the Sisters Grimm Oddities Parlor inside the famously haunted Menger Hotel. This shop became a treasure trove for all things eerie, nestled within the walls of one of Texas’ most ghostly landmarks.
