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.

It wasn't really just a ghost tour it was a history tour also. They should have taken us back on the $1 trolly at the end to the start? If they don't offer it they should tell you that you can it is only a dollar. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative.

Nice tour but it should be called the Haunted and History walking tour. I would have liked them to give me the option of taking the trolly back to Beale Street for a dollar or just include it in the tour would have been nice, A very knowledgeable tour guide.

Haunted History has a nice ring to it! Thanks for your review and for the suggestions. As far as the trolley ride back to Beale goes, thank you for bringing that to our attention! The trolleys were on a very reduced schedule due to COVID-19 and have just resumed service at regular hours!
