What To Expect

Gatlinburg Space Needle

Since its construction in 1969, the Gatlinburg Space Needle has been an extremely popular place for tourists to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery surrounding the town. The Gatlinburg space needle has also been the location of a few of the more tragic and deadly incidents in the towns’ history. Here you'll hear the creepy tales of recorded hauntings.

Gatlinburg First United Methodist Church

Made of mountain rock - the oldest church in Gatlinburg, is one of the most historic buildings. Many visitors describe sightings of shadowy figures, ghosts of priests and spooky residual energy that haunts within.

Mountain Mall

The Mountain Mall is built atop one of the most historic pieces of land in the region. It is also the location of some of Gatlinburg's darker history. Here you will learn of the tragic events that occurred and tales of its visitors coming face to face with the dead.

Mysterious Mansion

Have you ever heard of a haunted river? Overlooking the Cliff Branch River, you may spot the ghosts that linger. Sightings of ghosts and phenomena include standard apparitions on the banks, or standing in the water, screams from the river, voices, and a battered canoe that floats slowly downriver. The souls of the dead, killed on the rocky riverbed reportedly remain behind to taunt its visitors.

I booked this tour as a surprise for my ghost loving seven year old, and it was absolutely worth it! I was able to rent an EMF detector for him to carry on our walk and got him a ghost plush from the tour company. Our guide, Jacob, did an amazing job telling the stories. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for something fun and spooky. My son and I would both probably go again!
