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 knew what he was talking about and made the walk enjoyable and the stories memorable. The only critique I have is that we wished we could have gone in more of the buildings rather than just walking by.

I’ve done ghost tours all over the world and I loved this one! Jay was super informative, charming, funny and a great story teller. I really appreciated that Jay talked about different kinds of hauntings or spirits and also infused a lot of Memphis history with the ghost stories. My teenager joined and just loved it! I wouldn’t say it was scary but we did have other kids on our journey so maybe that was for their sake. I didn’t mind. I thought it actually made it a good tour and made it feel like we were talking about real hauntings rather then telling tales just to scare (which has happened to me on other experiences). I would definitely recommend this tour!

Jay is an excellent tour guide. She is thoughtful, experienced, and great at telling stories. Even if you are not extremely into ghost stories (and there are plenty of ghost stories), this tour would satisfy those interested in Memphis history. Don't miss this.
