Join us for a spine-chilling Haunted History Walking Tour, where we'll explore eerie tales and ghostly legends in Raleigh!
About this Event

Raleigh Walking Tours now has 2 ghost tours!! They are completely independent of one another, so there is no overlap between the tours! The other tour is the Sip n' Stroll Ghost Tour, and it can be found .

This tour is pay-what-you-want ! If you enjoy the tour, please compensate your guide appropriately! CASH OR VENMO ONLY please! Usually, the guide receives $15 to $20 per adult, but you are free to give more or less than that, depending on how you feel about your tour. As you can imagine, the tour guide has to work hard to earn your appreciation!

Tours have always been pay-what-you-want, but advance registration is now REQUIRED. I need to ensure that there will not be too many people on the tour, and I also need to be able to communicate with you if the tour needs to be cancelled due to the weather or low signups.

If you have taken this tour before, please note that I have changed the format of this tour. I will no longer be discussing the history of the landmarks that we stop at, so the tour will be focused on ghosts and eerie stories! This has shortened the length of the tour.

Get ready to uncover the dark secrets and ghostly tales that lurk within the city of Raleigh's historic streets! Your tour guide will lead you to some of the most haunted places in Raleigh, including the Governor's Mansion and the State Capitol Building. You will hear stories of paranormal encounters and unexplained phenomena. Brace yourself for a chilling journey into the unknown!

This walking tour is not your typical “ghost tour” with special effects, and we will not be looking for ghosts. Instead, it is a historical tour that discusses some alleged hauntings resulting from past events.

PLEASE NOTE: We will start at the Governor's Mansion at 200 N. Blount St. The Governor's Mansion takes up an entire city block, so please make sure that you are on the Blount St. side of the mansion. The starting point is in the middle of the block, outside of the mansion's front gate. Please do NOT attempt to enter the grounds of the Governor's Mansion at any time. This is a walking tour -- it is NOT a tour of the Governor's Mansion! Also, please do not call the Governor's Mansion or buzz any of the intercoms at the Mansion gates. The tour route is about 1 mile long, and the end point of the tour is approximately 2 blocks away from the starting point. In addition, we will NOT be entering any of the buildings listed in this tour description.

There is plenty of free street parking on the weekends in the block surrounding the Governor's Mansion. There is also a surface parking lot that is on the corner of Blount and Jones Sts., diagonally opposite of the Governor's Mansion. This is a large lot that is convenient to the end point of the tour as well. This parking lot has 2 entrances, one off of Jones Street and one off of Edenton Street. Parking in this lot is free on Saturdays and is also free on Fridays after 6:30 p.m.

The Haunted History Tours are approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes long, but may be slightly longer depending on the size and speed of the group. There will not be any restroom breaks or stops for food/drinks.

Finally, please note that the vast majority of the tour should be fine for children of all ages. But sensitive children could possibly be frightened by any of the ghost stories. In addition, the very last story that I tell involves a M**der and has some fairly graphic/gory parts to it. Even though the story is actually not a true story, I feel like it could be disturbing for younger children. When children are on the tour, I do emphasize that the story is a made up, Raleigh folklore story. I hope this helps when you are deciding whether to bring children on the tour.
