Great tour! Learned a lot about the town and the haunts. Dan did a great job explaining the history. We did the 7p tour which was great to time out with an early dinner and after tour drinks.

Dan had lots of great knowledge and stories and did a great job getting everyone engaged and creating a great group atmosphere. Loved the suit and lantern… Dan is clearly all-in on atmosphere, knowledge, and storytelling!!

This was a very enjoyable experience. The guide presented us with a lot of “haunting history.” I recommend this excursion.

This tour was fantastic!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the stories were fascinating. My husband is not a fan of these kinds of things, but we both enjoyed ourselves enormously. It was not a tour with painted faces, jump scares, or tacky plastic skeletons (which we saw in passing tours). It was creepy and eerie and definitely makes you look around differently at the city knowing all the layers of history you’re literally standing on-scary stories of unsolved murders, ghost sittings- not to mention learning about all the mass graves, battlefields, and burial mounds all around town. One of the creepiest aspects to me was learning that pretty much every house around town was used as a hospital during the yellow fever epidemic, and that locals who get freaked out by paranormal events in their homes turn them into air bnbs like the one we were staying in! It was a really unique way to experience the city, which was so creepy with fog and Spanish moss on the old live oaks. A very memorable night that was everything I had hoped it would be!! I thoroughly recommend this and would love to bring other people to do it again!
