What To Expect

This Memphis ghost walking tour begins on Beale Street, one of the most iconic streets in America. Beyond this 2-mile stretch of blues clubs and restaurants, however, lies a darker history of vice, voodoo, phantoms, ghosts and lost souls. Hear the tales of an eerie past while visiting some of Memphis' oldest sites.

Follow the expert storyteller guide through the town to discover Memphis in a completely different way than the regular tours—in search of its haunted places where a lesser-known history is uncovered. 

See the Orpheum Theatre, one of the few remaining movie palaces of the 1920s and home of a ghost named Mary, who has haunted performances here since 1921; the John Alexander Austin House, a Victorian-era mansion said to be haunted by two lovers; the Gayoso House apartment building; and the location of Memphis' haunted piano.

Finally, receive a tour of the notorious Ernestine and Hazel's, well known as one of the most haunted buildings in Memphis. Take a look around this former brothel turned bar, which is home to several ghosts—and a haunted jukebox.

Caitlin_M, Apr 2024
The stories were interesting, and I saw Memphis in a different way than the museums show. It was also a fun group! My favorite ghost was Sarah.
It is real.
Jose_C, Apr 2024
Great tour, our guide was very detailed in the details behind the stories. The feeling that you are not alone was felt.
Loud noises everywhere
Steven_B, Apr 2024
I really enjoyed when we stopped by Earnestine and Hazels it was more interesting to actually see the inside of the place than to stand in front of a building. Its not the tours fault but this city is the most ridiculously loud place I have ever been. Loud cars squealing tires and blaring music that would get you arrested anywhere else in the US made it impossible to hear most of what the guide was saying.
Fun Evening

The guide Hanna was great. And it really helps you understand the significance of Beale street to music
Good time
Stephanie_H, Mar 2024
Jess was an exciting tour guide, she was new but full of spunk. The wall was longer than we anticipated, but she waited for us older folks to catch up.
Informative & entertaining tour!

Deanna_V, Nov 2023
The host was nice but lacked experience. The meeting place was strange to where we walked and talked. More history on Memphis as it relates to ghosts would be beneficial.
Was a lot of fun and kind of scary!
Judy_A, Nov 2023
Talia was very knowledgeable and well spoken. Very happy that we had the opportunity to go inside of one of the locations, it added a bit of extra spook to the whole experience.
