‘Appalachian Ghostwalks’ amongst the top ten ghost tours in America

“Appalachian Ghostwalks” celebrated its first anniversary on September 1, 2006 with the announcement that the “GhostWalks” has been voted into the top ten companies in America offering haunted historic ghost tours. Haunted America Tours in New Orleans, Louisiana, has received over 2,200 email messages from website visitors favoring the local Appalachian group.

Join Appalachian GhostWalks as the group explores the mysteries of our mountain heritage. Travel back in time to visit and learn about the people of the past, strolling down Main Street in each of Appalachia’s oldest towns where you will enjoy tantalizing mystery, legend, intrigue, and fun family adventure.

These “lantern-led” tours will bring the Southern Appalachian region’s Cherokee Indian, Frontier, Revolutionary and Civil War history to life for all ages. Each guide is a highly trained and certified ghost hunter presenting a unique blend of science, history, and folklore. Your choice of “Haunted Historic GhostWalks” include:

Jonesborough, Tennessee’s oldest town founded in 1779 where you’ll learn about the former President, Andrew Jackson’s encounter with the infamous “Bell Witch” of Adams, Tennessee - the subject matter of the new motion picture currently in theatres entitled “An American Haunting”; in addition, we offer Historic Erwin and the Nolichucky Settlement beginning 1760; in Johnson City we have three tours including the East Tennessee State University campus, Tipton-Haynes Historic Site, as well as a hiking adventure entitled “Legendary Buffalo Mountain”; our Historic Blountville, Rogersville, and Greeneville Tennessee GhostWalks detail ghostly true stories from the Civil War. Also available is our tour of Historic Abingdon Virginia GhostWalk just a few minutes drive from Bristol.
