Laura was exceptional on our ghost tour! She's an amazing storyteller. I didn't want to mention it on the tour and upset my mom, but I heard very distinct footsteps behind us as we were leaving the First Presbyterian Church! Really cool experience! I was so glad we took the tour the first day of our visit to Knoxville, it changed how we saw our surroundings for the entire trip. If we come back to the area on another trip, I won't miss the chance of another tour with her. Highly Recommend!
