Halloween ghost walks: questions people ask

Can you do a ghost tour on your own?

Yes. A self-guided ghost walk takes you to each haunted spot and tells its story through your phone, so you can go any night, at your own pace, without a group.

What is the most haunted city in America?

Savannah and New Orleans are the two most often named, with St. Augustine, Charleston and San Antonio close behind. There is a self-guided ghost walk for each of them here.

Are the ghost walks scary?

They're history first: the true stories behind the legends, told plainly. Fine for teenagers; maybe not for little ones at bedtime.

How much does a self-guided ghost tour cost?

Stop 1 of every walk is free. The whole walk is $4.99 for your group, on up to 4 phones, and you can be refunded within 7 days.
