About this tour

Discover the shadowy side of Durham on a 60-minute ghost walk through the city’s most haunted locations. A professional historian guide brings local folklore to life with stories of disgraced tobacco heirs said to roam their former factories, victims of tragic accidents who linger where they died, and murder victims who remain attached to their possessions.

As you travel through downtown, each tale reveals another eerie thread in Durham’s history. Meet your guide at Fate & Folklore, then explore the places and legends that give the city its ghostly reputation. This Durham Ghost Walk offers a lively way to experience local history through unsettling stories and atmospheric locations. Bring your own water, as it is not provided.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Raleigh
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.8. Top 17% in Raleigh means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Raleigh by this score.
