Haunted Decatur is a guided-tour operator based in New York, New York that runs in-depth haunted-history experiences focused on Decatur. The company offers two distinct public tours designed for visitors who want historic context and spine-tingling storytelling. The Haunted History Bus Tour is a three-hour guided bus experience that tours Decatur’s most notorious haunted sites, pairing local history with accounts of crime, scandals, and unsolved mysteries. The Ghost Hunter’s Tour is a longer, four-hour seasonal experience with exclusive off-the-bus stops and concentrated storytelling at locations reported to be spirit-active. Both trips include stops at indoor locations and emphasize atmospheric interpretation of documented local events, rumor, and folklore.
Guides present recorded histories, on-site narration, and coordinated routing to maximize access to well-known locations along each itinerary. Haunted Decatur markets these experiences to adults and older teens interested in paranormal history, true crime context, and cultural storytelling tied to place. The operator provides clear duration information for each trip and notes when offerings are limited by season. Booking information, meeting points, and seasonal schedules are provided at time of reservation. Haunted Decatur focuses on careful route planning and narrated context rather than guaranteed paranormal contact. The operator maintains a public schedule of the two tours and offers tour-specific details so travelers can choose between the shorter bus-based format and the extended ghost-hunting itinerary. Guests should reserve spots in advance.
