Memphis Haunted Walking Tour 90 min

Memphis’s South Main Historic District wears its history in brick, iron, and shadow. On this 90-minute Memphis Haunted Walking Tour, professional storytellers lead you along atmospheric streets and share tales of sensational murders and reported ghostly activity. The route passes some of the district’s oldest landmarks, including the Orpheum Theatre, where the ghost known as Mary is said to haunt performances, and the Victorian John Alexander Austin House, linked to a tale of star-crossed lovers.

The walk covers approximately 2 miles on public sidewalks, with some elevation, and takes place mostly outdoors. You’ll also visit Earnestine & Hazel’s, a former brothel long associated with ghost stories and a haunted jukebox. The provider notes that entry there is available Wednesday through Sunday; food and drinks are not included. The tour does not include entry to the other buildings, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Strollers are permitted for infants and small children, and service animals are allowed. Nearby parking garages and open-air lots offer options for arriving by car.

Follow the stories through Memphis after dark and experience the city’s haunted heritage on foot.
