I designed this tour based off of my family's collection of ghost stories shared with us by locals over 150 years living in the area as well as my love for the paranormal and history of TC. I hope to see you out on one of my lovingly curated ghost or cemetery tours. -Dez

Our tour was so full of historic information around the downtown of Traverse City. Including some actual ghost hunting with some equipment as well. It was so much fun. Our tour person was very friendly and kind.

This was our first ghost tour. Our guide Des was knowledgeable and very entertaining. We had a great time even though it was raining 🙂 We visited the last week of March, but the app only lets us choose up to February 🤷🏻

There are many awesome stops in this tour. Every stop is filled with history and details about the hauntings. Dez is an amazing tour guide. The Whiting Hotel, Library and the first cemetery were my favorite stops. You won't regret this tour! She also has other tours, which are just as great!!
