The tour lasts one hour. On the tour, you will see some of the sites of paranormal and ghostly activities around Memphis. The guides will take you for a walk down Beale Street and see some of the spookiest haunted locations in town. One stop on the tour is the Gayoso House, a house where a violent murder occurred. Howard’s Row, another tour stop, is the site of a former slave market and hospital used during the Civil War. A serial killer walked the streets of Memphis in the 1970s, and the tour guides will tell you all about it.
