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

We had a great time on this tour! Our tour guide, Desiree, told wonderfully spooky stories that painted an intriguing picture of the ghost stories of Traverse City. The tour was engaging and great for all ages. We've done ghost tours in other cities and this is one of the best!

We were in TC over the 4th of July for the Cherry Festival and decided to jump on to a ghost tour the first night we got in. The tour took us all over downtown Traverse City, and was a great introduction to some of the history and hauntings of the city. A highlight was getting to do a short paranormal investigation ourselves at the end of the tour. Can't say enough about how great Des was with us and how much we enjoyed her tour. Definitely great for folks of all ages!
