Highlights
  • Printer’s Alley - Printer’s Alley, located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, has a fascinating and eerie haunted history that adds an extra layer of intrigue to its reputation as a historic entertainment district. This narrow, atmospheric alley has been a hub for nightlife, music, and various businesses since the mid-19th century.

The Alley’s Name: Printer’s Alley got its name from the many print shops that were once located in the area. The ghost of a printer who reportedly died under mysterious circumstances is said to haunt the alley. Witnesses claim to have seen him/her wandering the narrow lanes, sometimes in period clothing.

  • Tennessee State Capitol - The Tennessee State Capitol, located in Nashville, has its own share of ghostly legends and reported paranormal activity.

The most famous ghostly story related to the Tennessee State Capitol involves its architect, William Strickland. He designed and oversaw the construction of the building but passed away before its completion in 1854. Legend has it that Strickland’s ghost haunts the capitol, possibly because he was buried in the building’s north facade, as per his request. Visitors and employees have claimed to hear footsteps echoing in empty hallways, attributed to Strickland’s spirit.

Visitors to the Tennessee State Capitol have reported an eerie and unsettling atmosphere, even during daylight hours. Some say they feel as though they are being watched or experience sudden temperature drops in certain areas of the building.

  • Skull’s Rainbow Room - Here the tragic story of Skull Schulman and the fall and rise of his Rainbow room.

Never Again - I would give it ZERO stars if I could. About 20 minutes prior to the tour we received a call that unfortunate, we were the only ones on the trip and would we like to transfer to the 7:00pm or 8:00pm tour. We didn’t. We had planned our day around this trip and had to get back to our dog. I called Viator the following day for a refund. It is now FIVE days later and I still don’t have a refund.

Could not hear your operator - The tour operator was friendly and caring Very hard to hear her. She should have had some type of talking device And should have ended the tour not in front of a bar

Don't waste your money or time. - It was horrible. So boring. We stood in one place while the lady rambled on. No entertainment to the story. We go to first bar and she tells us to meet back up at 8:59. We came back at 8:50 and she was gone. So we threw away a bunch of money to stand outside in the heat for a 30 min long winded story and never got to finish the tour.
