Overview

Enjoy the darker side of Memphis and hear tales of the city's haunted heritage as told by professional storytellers.

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

Will was our guide. He had lots of great stories and energy. So glad we took the tour. Probably wouldn't have known to walk some of those streets without a tour. Great experience!

My family and I were in Memphis for the Easter weekend this year. My adult daughters (early twenties) and I decided to book the Haunted Memphis Walking Ghost Tour for our first night in town (Thursday, April 1). We loved it - it was lengthy, informative, spooky, and we got to know a lot about Memphis aside from its ghosts. Our tour guides - whose names I've unfortunately forgotten (was one Jules?) - were enthusiastic and engaging. They obviously knew a lot about Memphis and loved the city. Even though the weather was cool and our party was relatively quiet, especially toward the end, our guides were still funny and energetic throughout. And can they tell ghost stories! I'm not sure how many of the stories they told were rooted in actual events, but they were effectively scary. One caution - this is a long tour, and you'll be walking a LOT. There are some minor hills, and some of the sidewalks are in poor shape. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and don't book it if you're not in shape to walk a couple of miles. If you're physically up for it, though, and you enjoy ghost stories with plenty of atmosphere, don't miss this tour!
