What You Will Do
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 90-minute outdoor 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 (Wednesday-Sunday ONLY), home to several ghosts as well as a haunted jukebox.

TC was an awesome tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about the sites that we visited and he welcomed any questions we asked. He was also added some humor to the tour and made it not only informative but gave it a comical aspect; I truly appreciate his time and his patience.

Daniel did a great job of bringing ghost stories to life while adding in interesting history facts about Memphis. He is definitely an ambassador for Memphis. Daniel was also willing to adjust the tour a bit since it was just my husband and me on the tour.
