Voices of the Dead Tour, Savannah, GA

Savannah is almost 300 years old, meaning it’s had a lot of time to get spooky. Listen to the stories of shadow people, walk through cemeteries and visit some of the oldest homes in the city while learning about the people who used to (and just might still!) live there.

Every location on this tour has been investigated by the company’s own paranormal investigation team. Expect to hear descriptions of real-life evidence that just may chill your bones.

Gettysburg is the site of the largest and most important battle of the Civil War. The three-day fight was the largest ever fought in North America, so it’s no surprise ghost tours here are all about soldiers and their war stories.

Beyond Bizarre Ghost Tour, Portland, OR

These tours are just for fans of ghosts, but really anyone who questions the bizarre things that happen in the world.
