Behind the honky-tonk lights of Music City is an older, darker Nashville — a downtown of grand hotels, hidden alleys, and stages where the past still performs. Ghost City Tours leads nightly walking tours through it, from the State Capitol and the historic Ryman Auditorium to the gaslit shadows of Printers Alley, where the city's ghosts have never taken their final bow.
Our local guides tell the true, researched history behind each haunting — the tragedies at the Hermitage Hotel, the unsolved murders and mob violence downtown, the spirits that linger where legends once played. Take the family-friendly Ghosts of Nashville Tour for a just-spooky-enough evening, the adults-only Murder in Music City Ghost Tour for true crime and the paranormal from Printers Alley to Bicentennial Park, or the 21+ Nashville Haunted Pub Crawl through haunted honky-tonks like Skull's Rainbow Room.
Ghost City Tours has been telling Nashville's darkest stories since 2012, with a tour for families, date nights, and the truly fearless. Book your Nashville ghost tour today and discover the haunted history hiding behind Music City's bright lights.
