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.

The Memphis Ghost Tour is a history lesson on its city. Its great to listen to ghost stories however not what I was looking for.

The guide was very informative. My niece is very sensitive to these type of ghost tales. When she got close to the radiator at Ernestine and Hazels she all of a sudden felt real funny and ended up throwing up on the steps as she was coming down. The guide said this was the first time he ever made anyone throw up and he is going to mention her on every tour.

Went with a 9 and 10 year old boys. Although we did not see any spirits the kids and myself learned a lot of history and saw some cool sights. My son came home telling family about the stories he heard. There is a visit to a former brothel but the information was relayed tactfully and age appropriate.
