RALEIGH, N.C. — History buffs and thrill-seekers alike can now explore Raleigh’s darker side through a guided ghost walk that promises to unveil the capital city’s most chilling urban legends and supernatural folklore.

The Raleigh Ghost Walk takes participants on a walking tour through downtown Raleigh, weaving together documented history with local ghost stories and unexplained phenomena that have become part of the city’s cultural fabric. The experience begins at the World War memorial located at the North Carolina State Capitol on East Edenton Street.

According to tour organizers, participants will encounter tales of mysterious entities allegedly lurking in the city’s underground sewer systems, hear accounts of phantom sounds from historical train accidents, and learn about deceased business owners who some believe continue to influence their former establishments from beyond the grave.

Tour organizers promise that these creepy stories and others await participants in the Raleigh Ghost and Urban Legend Walk, where they explore the facts and fiction behind some of Raleigh’s creepiest folklore.

The guided tour aims to separate documented historical events from local mythology while exploring how urban legends develop and persist in communities. Participants will visit various locations throughout downtown Raleigh where these stories originated or are said to have taken place.

Tours are scheduled for multiple dates and times, with tickets priced at $17.85 per person. The walking format allows for an intimate exploration of the city’s haunted history while participants traverse the same streets where these tales allegedly unfolded.

Organizers offer refunds up to seven days before scheduled tour dates. Those interested in participating can check availability and purchase tickets through the event’s booking system.

The ghost walk represents a growing trend in experiential tourism that combines entertainment with local history, allowing visitors and residents to engage with their community’s cultural narratives in an interactive format.
