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.

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

My experience is hard to explain, I and my family had a grate time. My self, wife, 18yr daughter, 13yr daughter. Personally I stray away from these things with a strong belief that spirits like to be left alone. I seem to be extreamly sensitive to these things, feelings of past experiences that are not my own and unexplained. I decided to take the walk being that I know my family enjoys these types of things. I would recommend this tour to everyone regardless of belief. Our guided tour historian, was extremely knowledgeable. If you like history you will enjoy the walk, I emphasize rain or shine in are case it was cold and raining. Come prepared with an open mind and share the experience. As miserable as the weather was take the moment in and understand that others at some point made the sacrifice far more then your uncomfortable walk. After are haunted walk, later that night I woke up unable to breath around 0400, in convulsions, unable to breath, in full consciousness, much like a stroke. I will be talking to my medical provider to discuss this matter. Either way I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking for something more to do in Memphis on beal st. Other then just another night of drinking and forgetting. You will have a chance to understand some of the secrets Memphis holds after the lights go out.
