The tour was a 2 hour treck around downtownMemphis. I have been on lengthy tours before but none that the guide walked so fast he left everyone behind. We were at a constant pace of speed walking apt jogging. There were several elderly people who asked him to slow down at which he would agree very nicely but then continue the fast pace. Also, it was very obvious this tour was not well researched! There was little history and even less reports of sitings or experiences. We stopped to see where they piled the dead in 1878 during the yellow fever outbreak and where MLK took his last breath. No spirit sitings mentioned, just a snip of history before running to the next place.

Jay was both knowledgeable and passionate, a perfect combo for a tour guide. We learned a lot of Haunted History. It was fun, yet scary, to learn the dark details behind the hauntings!

This was a lot of fun. We got to see and hear about parts of Memphis we never would have otherwise. Jay, our tour guide was adorable and knowledgeable - upbeat with a great sense of humor. Beware it is a lot of walking but frequent tests make it enjoyable.
