  • The Ghost Tour began in 1996 after we were inspired by taking the Jack the Ripper Tour while on our honeymoon in London. Lexington is rich in Civil War history and the perfect Victorian city to conduct such tours. We personally hand pick entertainers to guide groups into the darkened streets, alleyways, and eventually the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery for a very different experience I've never known anyone else to offer on their ghost tours.

  • Our main priority is to entertain every guest with a sense of awe and perhaps have them re-examine what they believe to be reality.

  • Walk through dark streets and alley ways and in the very footsteps of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and his beloved horse, Traveler, as you listen to entertaining, enlightening, and eerie tales told to you by our professional tour guides.

  • Experience the nightly phenomena in the heart of the famous Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery.

           ***What to Bring & What to Know***
