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.

Less distraction on the tour guide's part. More focus on the ghost aspect of the tour. Tour guide admitted that she didnt even believe in ghosts. The least she could have done is PRETENDED she believed!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and sorry you didn't have the greatest experience with us. While it certainly does make the tour more fun when everyone believes, there are those who are skeptics--and we can't fault them for that! Hopefully our ghostly friends will make themselves known to your guide and change her mind! We do hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

Jay, our tour guide was awesome! She was a lot of fun and very informative. My husband and I had a great time on the tour that took us several different places through out downtown. Each place had a spooky story to accompany and a little history of memphis. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone looking for some night time fun, especially if you are interested in history.
