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 Tour guide was great and the 1 mile walk was really interesting.

This was kind of fun and one of the places across from The Arcade was really creepy. I think it's a bit overpriced though. Our tour guide was awesome and you get to ride the trolly on the way back.

I've done a number of Ghost Walking Tours Melbourne and Prague in the past, and this one was unfortunately the least enjoyable. It was a 90 minute tour which covered very little of the town itself and only included about 4 stops to discuss Ghosts - and even then, they were pretty crappy. If we'd have seen more of Memphis, or seen some more stops, heard some more stories it definitely would've been better. Our tour guide, who was also a letdown - she didn't bring any kind of ambiance, character or charm to the storytelling - was basically just a college kid saying a few things along the way, reminding us to tip her at the end of it. Overall, I can't imagine ever recommending this tour to anyone. Memphis itself was fantastic - stay away from this one.
