Downtown Nashville Dead of Night Haunted Dark History Walking Tour

Overview

Book Directly With Nashville Ghosts and save $5/person.
Nashville Ghosts takes you on a haunted walking ghost tour to explore the sinister side of this electric city. Walk with us through Broadway’s active nightlife and find out the sinister secrets hidden in some of the area’s most popular locations. Learn about the bar where Hank Williams Sr. still grabs a drink or the storied history of the legendary Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry radio show. Listen to the tragic aftermath of the 2010 floods that devastated the area and added a deep psychic pain to the whole area.

The city existed long before the music industry, and while that makes up a large portion of their modern identity, there is a rich history that adds to the depth of the area’s paranormal history. The stories on our tour will likely disturb and frighten you, but they will also provide a fascinating window into a version of the city as it was, and the version you will see today.

My family had a blast during our trip to Nashville and this tour made it that much better. The guide was great and the history stories were really interesting. It was just spooky enough for us and not overly hokeypokey. Great tour!

We enjoyed the walk, but stories seemed like made up as we went. It was very hard to hear the speaker, bc of the music and he wasn't very loud speaker. Sidewalks were very busy, had to pay attention to where he was going, what holes you were going to step in and twist an ankle, just not a very professional or organized, I guess. We left early as a result.

During a visit to see my grandfather and extended family we decided to try something unique. This tour was so much fun! We learned a lot about our home town and some things we had never heard before! Highly recommend!
