Haunted Memphis Walking Ghost Tour

Overview

Enjoy the darker side of Memphis and hear tales of the city's haunted heritage as told by professional storytellers. The city’s South Main Historic District – an eclectic, colorful area with some of the city’s oldest buildings – has a long history of sensational murders and ghostly activity. On this two-hour walking tour, you'll visit a number of haunted sites, including:
• The Orpheum Theater, home of "Mary," who has haunted performances since 1921
• The John Alexander Austin House, a Victorian era mansion haunted by star-crossed lovers
• The notorious Ernestine & Hazel's, a former brothel long recognized as one of the most haunted buildings in Memphis. We'll take you inside this creepy establishment, home to several ghosts as well as a haunted jukebox.

Will was a FANTASTIC tour guide, very knowledgeable and you could tell he loves what he does. The stops were great, the walk wasn't too hard, but the walking speed was very fast but at least I got a workout. Loved the tour!

Daniel was a very knowledgeable guide and made the tour informational and most importantly fun!! The rain started coming down just before the tour, but that didn’t stop us from having fun👻 ( The rain stopped about 15 minutes into the tour) We learned so much about Memphis history and enjoyed learning about the beautiful buildings and the ghosts that haunt them. If you are in Memphis book your spot and be ready for the goosebumps and chills that await!!!!

Our tour guide, Daniel, let us tour even though it started pouring rain at the start of our tour, which was awesome and added to the spookiness of the tour. He was very personable and knowledgeable about every story on the tour and even history of several places that weren’t on his list to tell us. It was an amazing experience and I’d love to be able to do it again when Ernestein and Hazel’s is open to meet some ghosts and a haunted juke box!
