Timothy Nealon

Tim Nealon is the founder of Ghost City Tours, the world's leading ghost tour company, known for its immersive storytelling, historical accuracy, and dedication to uncovering the haunted history of America's most mysterious cities.

Tim started Ghost City in 2012 after years of traveling the country and realizing that the ghost tour industry lacked something vital—authenticity. He was tired of tours that leaned on cheesy gimmicks or made-up stories. With a deep respect for history and a lifelong passion for the paranormal, Tim set out to create a ghost tour company that focused on well-researched hauntings, real history, and unforgettable experiences. What started as one tour in Savannah has now grown into a nationwide phenomenon, with tours operating in over 30 cities.

But Ghost City is just one part of Tim's larger story. He's a serial entrepreneur, storyteller, and passionate creator. In addition to founding Ghost City Tours, Tim is the force behind Gallivanter Tours—a parent company aimed at reshaping how we explore the world through travel content and immersive experiences. He also launched Pretty Spooky Tours, offering family-friendly ghost tours, and Revelry Tours, focused on the food, drink, and culture of America's best cities.

When he's not developing new tours or pushing the boundaries of haunted storytelling, Tim is building Nealon Reptiles, a world-class reptile breeding and conservation facility with a focus on endangered species like Uroplatus geckos and Parson's chameleons.

Despite all the ventures, Tim is still most at home in the places where the past refuses to stay buried—whether it's a haunted graveyard in New Orleans, a shadowy alley in Boston, or behind the scenes creating the next big thing in paranormal tourism.

Ghosts may be the business, but for Tim, it's always been about the stories.
