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.

Daniel was an awesome guide! Funny, charismatic, and full of information! Would recommend! A note though: not 3 minutes after the tour ended, I lost my footing, twisted my ankle, and scraped my knee. Those darn ghosts got me… but still a great tour! Not their fault I’m a klutz haha

Thanks for the review, and so sorry you hurt your ankle! We recommend lots of ice, elevation, and maybe a thorough saging and possibly some crystal therapy!

Not super scary stories, but a nice way to see downtown Memphis. Could have been cut by 10-15 minutes.
