Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring with me?
Comfortable shoes are a must! As you will be outdoors, bring water and weather-appropriate gear. They also sell umbrellas, rain ponchos, and long-sleeved shirts in their shop.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Tours run rain or shine unless conditions are dangerous. Hunts cannot proceed in significant rain. If a tour is canceled, you can opt for a refund or reschedule. Call them at 423-800-5998 for updates.
How scary is the tour?
They do not use actors to jump out and scare you. However, the tours cover real documented hauntings, and the possibility of supernatural experiences can be frightening. No one under 18 is permitted on the cemetery ghost hunts.
Can you guarantee we will see a ghost?
While ghosts are unpredictable and a legitimate tour cannot guarantee sightings, many guests have reported apparitions, disembodied voices, and captured orbs or apparitions in photos. They guarantee exciting tales of Chattanooga's hauntings.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
The Murder & Mayhem tour is wheelchair accessible, but it's recommended to call ahead to ensure your guide's route avoids significant hills. The cemetery hunt is not wheelchair accessible due to rough terrain.
