Visit the happy haunts of Memphis! - It’s my tradition to do ghost tours when I visit new places, and this one did not disappoint. Daniel was an enthusiastic and spirited (Dad-joke intended) guide who showed love for, and knowledge about, not just the ghost stories, but for Memphis in general. His passion for his city was clear and enthusiastic. He led us to theaters, taverns, hotels, houses, and other haunted spots and shared detailed snapshots of the haunted (and regular) histories and their cast of characters of friendly, lost, lovelorn, and insidious spirits. It was a lengthy tour and he never rushed it, so I definitely feel I got my money’s worth and got to soak everything in rather than feel hurried to the end. If you like quirky and unusual things to do on your vacation, I highly recommend Daniel’s ghost tour!
