The tour begins on the concrete steps by the large UTC sign, the city hum fading as streetlights thin and the campus takes on its own quieter rhythm. In that dim light the columns of the old cemetery stand like patient witnesses; your guide hands you an EMF meter and a temperature gun, and the night seems to lean closer to listen.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Citizens Cemetery and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga grounds carry layers of local history — 19th‑ and early 20th‑century headstones, Civil War–era markers, and the everyday memorials of a working river city. The gravestones are carved from regional sandstone and marble; weather and time have given them tilted stances and lichened faces that often make great photographic subjects when your guide points them out.
Expect a mostly flat, paved-to-gravel walking route with occasional uneven stones and short stair sections around campus. The investigation uses typical paranormal gear — Mel meters, laser grids, parascopes, and an Ovilus X for live voice outputs — and the guide will coach you on placement and photo angles.
Practical advice: wear sturdy shoes and a warm layer, bring a charged phone and a headlamp, and be ready for close quarters in older cemetery sections. The tour moves at a steady walking pace for about 90 minutes and is restricted to guests 18 and older. Public transit serves downtown Chattanooga, and tours run rain or shine with refund or reschedule options in severe weather. Respect the site: stay on paths, avoid touching monuments, and keep noise low — this is both an investigation and a neighborhood walk through local history.

Citizens Cemetery contains graves dating back to Chattanooga’s 19th‑century growth, including markers from Civil War and early industrial periods that reflect the city’s river and rail history.
Tours emphasize leave‑no‑trace: stay on paths, avoid touching stones, and respect memorials; historic stones are sensitive to oils and pressure, so physical contact is discouraged.
