Chilling

Daniel was great providing not only ghost tales but also a little overall history. I have to say the last stop gave us all the chills. I took video and picture there and captured some pretty disturbing images and a crazy laugh followed by a scream on video. Daniel please contact me so I can get your email address to send them to you. Wendy Sandmann 8/16

Spooky fun!

Great time and very informative ghost tour with Daniel, he loves his city and holds deep appreciation for the local community. Will definitely come back and visit. The price was fair for the quality tour and the walk was not too strenuous.

The best tour of the ghosts of South Main!

Sheena was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, it was clear how passionate and dedicated she is to making the experience memorable for everyone. She brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the tour, and her knowledge of Memphis and its history made every stop interesting and engaging. What really stood out was how much Sheena genuinely cared about the group and the experience we were having. She was incredibly personable, welcoming, and attentive, and she took the time to answer questions and make sure everyone felt included. She has a wonderful way of telling the stories that keeps you interested and makes the history come alive. You can tell that Sheena puts a tremendous amount of effort into what she does. Her passion, personality, and dedication truly made the Haunted Memphis Walking Ghost Tour special. She went above and beyond, and she is a huge reason I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Memphis. If you take this tour, I highly recommend going with Sheena. She is an outstanding guide and made the entire experience unforgettable. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Fun but disappointing

Our guide Sheena was very good and knowledgeable about the history and paranormal information about Memphis however, I thought that the description of the tour was very misleading. You definitely do a lot of walking which was stated but you only get to go into one place!!! The rest is looking at the outside of the buildings! So for that it was disappointing. After coming from so far I may never get back to Memphis again but the people in our group were told that “ maybe next time” we could go into the theater.
