In Durham, NC, you will explore the city's darker past on a guided walk that focuses on its most haunted locations. A professional historian will lead you through the streets and former industrial areas, sharing the local folklore and historical context behind each story as you move through the city.

Along the way, you will hear about the disgraced sons of tobacco giants who are said to still roam their old factories. You will learn the background to tragic accidents and the tales of victims who are believed to haunt the places where they died. There are also stories of murder victims who reportedly cling to their possessions long after death. Your guide will place these ghostly accounts within Durham’s wider history, so the eerie stories sit alongside the factual events that inspired them.
