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.

Everything was pleasant no complaints . I will most definitely tell others to go . Our tour guide answered any questions needed and made each of us fill very comfortable

Our tour guide started the tour announcing that she didn’t believe in ghosts. The entire tour she was sarcastic about any reports of sightings and every story came with her personal debunking. Not at all what it could have been

Response from Host

Hello, Jessica, You first brought this to our attention two months ago (back in November) the day after you took the tour. I apologized for a less-than-satisfactory experience and gave you a full refund. I added at the time that I was sure our guide was trying to be humorous and present the tour light-heartedly. I forwarded your email comments to the guide, and in fact she responded later that day as follows: "I thought I make it clear that I don't mean to belittle believers, since I like, trust, and respect plenty of people who have had experiences or believe more strongly. Open-minded skepticism is what I've been shooting for, since it's a perspective I see and appreciate in parapsych and ghost shows. I just mean to say I intentionally go for jocular over mean-spirited, but obviously I didn't hit the right note. I'm genuinely sorry that I put a damper on their tour. I hope you can convey my regret to them."
