Tour of Memphis, Tennessee

Instead of a weekly tour spread out over the week, I thought that I would give you a few things to do so that you could print it out just in case you wanted all the information in one place. So lets start with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music!
Celebrating great Memphis soul […]

Union Civil War Soldier to Be Reburied in West Virginia

How many times have you ventured down an old sideroad and noticed an overgrown cemetary that seemed to have been long forgotten? You might stop the next time and take a closer look.  It seems that a quiet little cemetary in West Virginia turned out to be a lot more important than anyone ever guessed.
“Last summer, […]

McConnio Cemetery - Monroe County, Evergreen, Alabama

Locals have been talking about this cemetary since 1865. Apparently more than a few people have spotted phantom Union soldiers in the graveyard. If you are Civil War history buff, this might be one area to add to your must see list! And around Halloween, they do say that the “curtain” between the two worlds […]

Gothic Graveyard Walk - Tampa Bay, Florida

“Historian and actress Maureen Patrick can help you ’see’ dead people in an entirely different way–through the eyes of Miss Prudence Fipwhistle (11855-1899).

Day 7 - Cave Hill Cemetery

Perhaps I’m alone in feeling that cemeteries are tranquil and strangly enough comforting. To me, a Sunday afternoon walking tour of Cave Hill seems like the ideal activity to end our week in Louisville. There are three tours to choose from; one historical, one horticultural and the other modern. All three will keep you entertained […]

Britt’s Tour of the South - Day 6: A Shiver Down Your Spine Kind of Day

A whole day devoted to scaring the crap out of you. I can’t think of a better way to experience all that Little Rock has to offer then to spend a day seeking out the local ghosts. A city with as much history as Little Rock does, it should be no trouble finding something that […]

The Tomb Tour in Key West

“Pay a visit to Key West’s singularly eccentric cemetery and you’ll discover that island residents can be just as quirky and entertaining in death as they are when they’re still breathing.”
Now from what I can tell from my stats, you want more haunted stuff and a cemetary fits in quite nicely. I have wandered through […]
