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.

My favorite part was visiting Ernestine & Hazels and hearing the tails about the place, our tour guide Daniel was an excellent guide very informative and gave a lot of insight on the places that were haunted as well as the historical points of Memphis, I would definitely recommend taking the tour when you visit Memphis 😉

Unfortunately we were unable to make the tour due to receiving untimely bad news. That said, I am still giving a 5 star rating based upon the way Brian with Backbeat Tours treated me when he called to confirm our attendance for the tour. Great young man!! We hope to reschedule the tour SOON!!

The guy was nice, he was young. But the tour was not hands-on and very boring in our opinion. I’ve been on many other ghost tours we actually got to go in buildings rather than just walk by stop and talk about it. I was surprised because many of the reviews were very positive but honestly it was just a walk around town
