4.5
(15 reviews)

2 hours (approximately)

As the only ghost tour in the city that stops at a cemetery, we are ready to give you an experience you won't forget!

We will stroll through the Riverside Cemetery, learning about the famous authors buried here and some wandering spirits who haven't found their final resting place. Hear stories about mass murderer Will Harris and his drunken rampage and have a chance to the view the receiving vault and maybe even be photographed with the spirits of German POWs if you dare!

We will commiserate with Zelda Fitzgerald at the highland hospital, the Pink Lady at the Grove Park Inn and the spirits of Riverside and Erwin's pauper graves.

Finally we will discover what happened at the murder hotel, family reunions at the Basilica of St Lawrence, and the Brown Lights that have baffled us for centuries.

You will also receive recommendations for where to eat and drink, keeping with the theme of our ghostly adventure!

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Meet at the gates of the cemetery. I recommend parking at the Montford Community Center down the street because its the half way point between the start and finish. You can also park at the cemetery and get an uber back to your car.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
