4.Cursed in Chattanooga Haunted Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $34

Walk downtown Chattanooga at 9 p.m. with a guide such as Caleb, Brittany, Kay Kay, or Leslie, hearing researched stories tied to the Read House, Mountain City Club, Market Street, and old Lee House site. Expect an outdoor history tour with supernatural themes, not a haunted-house show or guaranteed building entry.

“Downtown chattanooga is not a safe place to walk around in the dark at night. It was just 3 girls on the tour including the guide. I was worried we were going to get robbed the whole time, couldn’t even pay attention to what she was saying. Some of the stories were cool and some were just long and drawn out. Idk why she was even talking about green eyes on the tour, the green eye ghost is over in GA, so why mention it on a chattanooga tour. Was to expensive and definitely not safe.”

5.Family Friendly Ghost Tour in Chattanooga

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $29

Meet at 8 p.m. near the Tennessee Aquarium for a 90-minute walking tour through Chattanooga’s haunted riverfront and downtown streets. You’ll hear tales of Cherokee history, 1878 tragedy, witchcraft, voodoo, and haunted buildings. Guides including Caleb, Jami, Charlie, and Kaye Kaye have led especially lively tours, though pacing and storytelling can vary.

“This tour needs work. First, the guide was not dressed in black or other ghostly garb. Good tours have a little role playing going on. The stories were not particularly interesting either. Some background of the people who became ghosts would be helpful. Then, the tour was cut 45 minutes short without much of an explanation. We did not get value for the price. The guide was a pleasant person, but I can tell he has not been well trained by the tour owner.”
