Itinerary

On your 2-hour haunted journey, you'll ride between neighborhoods aboard your haunted trolley, hopping off with your guide to walk the very streets, sidewalks, and shadowed corners where these stories took place.

• Start in Old Louisville, America's most haunted neighborhood: Begin on an eerily quiet court in America's largest Victorian neighborhood, where you'll hear tales of mansions hiding dark secrets, quiet inns where phantom residents are said to still linger behind lace curtains, and a butcher who met the gallows swearing his innocence.

• Hop on the Haunted Trolley: Take a ride through Louisville's historic streets aboard a lantern-lit trolley and hear the horrifying tale of the deadliest train wreck in Kentucky history, whose passengers some say never departed. Let's hope they're not still on board with us....

• The Historic Highlands: Head back in time to a Victorian neighborhood a half-century older than Old Louisville, to a graveyard where the dead were buried atop the dead, names lost to time and bodies stolen and mutilated.

• Stop for Spirits: Pause for a spooky themed cocktail before continuing deeper into the city's darkest history.

• Make Your Way Downtown: Wind through the city's haunted heart. Here you'll find a luxurious hotel where a bride in blue never checked out and traverse streets that once ran with floodwater so deep that the bodies of the drowned floated right up against the cast-iron facades and windows above. Nearby, the ashes of a deadly hotel fire still cling to the ground where it once stood.
