1. Ghost and Haunt Tours of Gatlinburg

Take a journey into the past with the Ghost and Haunt Tours of Gatlinburg, one of the most popular tour operators in town! You will learn all about the side of Gatlinburg that most people don’t even know exists, including the stories of settlers, soldiers and other folks who arrived to the Smoky Mountains only to find heartbreak, misery and death! This is not a haunted house experience where costumed characters will jump out at you, but a walking tour of Gatlinburg that combines tales of historical facts and legends with a twist of the macabre. The Ghost and Haunt Tours of Gatlinburg takes place nightly at 9 p.m. and departs from the lobby of the Smoky Mountain Resort at 404 Historic Nature Trail.

2. Ghost Walk of Gatlinburg

Another one of the top ghost tours in Gatlinburg is the Ghost Walk of Gatlinburg, an evening walking tour of Gatlinburg’s most historic and haunted places that is led by a local storyteller dressed in costume. The purpose of the tour is to revisit many of the historic and forgotten stories of chaos and murder that took place during the last 100 years in Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Each guest gets an EMF ghost detector to bring along during the tour because you never know what you might find lurking in the shadows! All tours depart from the public fountain in front of the Municipal Parking Lot at 520 Parkway.

3. Appalachian Ghost Walks

Join a lantern-led ghost tour through the backstreets of Gatlinburg with Appalachian Ghost Walks! This nightly tour unveils the findings of professional researchers who conducted investigations into the properties and buildings that are part of the tour. While led by your guide, you will find out if the spirits of pioneers still walk along the old frontier trails or if the town might be haunted by early settlers! The Appalachian Ghost Walks depart nightly from the TGI Fridays restaurant at 957 Parkway, and both large and small groups are welcome to join the tour!
