AFTER DARK · CHATTANOOGA GHOST TOURS
Good chattanooga ghost tours run small groups and fill up around Halloween. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk downtown Chattanooga with guides such as Jason and Jessica, hearing murder tales, local history, and ghost stories from outside several haunted sites. The 95-minute tour covers easy but lengthy walking, runs in all weather, and returns to its 5th Street meeting point.
“It was more like a historical tour than ‘ghost’ tour but interesting nonetheless the less. The stories were very interesting.”
Walk Chattanooga with local guides such as Hannah, Chris, Dale, Delilah, or Jean, hearing tales of fires, hospitals, jails, lynchings, and restless spirits. The 90-minute route uses EMF meters and witching wands, with several stops in downtown alleys and historic streets.
“Right off the rip we didn’t feel safe ! Went into an alley full of homeless people digging in the trash cans looking is up and down. Right then my Daughter said we need to leave ! We were there for maybe 5 mins and left.”
Spend 90 minutes investigating haunted spots near UTC and Citizens Cemetery with a guide such as Dale, Luna, or Donnie. Learn to use EMF meters, a parascope, laser grid lights, and other tools while hearing stories about Anna, Tim, and spirits linked to Patten Chapel and Hooper Hall.
“It was not what I would say a bad experience but not something to write home about. The entire time it felt like it was staged. I give it 2 stars because the tour guid was funny at times and very professional. Just seemed like a routine they go through with each group.”
At 9 p.m., your English-speaking guide leads a 90-minute outdoor walk through downtown Chattanooga. Hear stories tied to the Read House, Mountain City Club, Market Street, Cherry Street, and the old Lee House. Guides including Caleb, Brittany, Kaye Kaye, and Katie bring different styles to this adults-only tour.
“My husband, son, and I had a blast learning about the history of Chattanooga. We're locals and found there was still so much to discover about our own city.”
A walk, a graveyard, a crawl or a full investigation.
