We were visiting from Minnesota in October of 2013 (17th) and signed up for the Jonesborough GhostWalk! It was worth every penny. We had teens, children, seniors and a toddler along in our group and everyone was totally engaged in listening to the history and ghost stories our tour guide Michael treated us to. We enjoyed it so much we went back to Jonesborough the next day to see everything in the daylight! We would definitely take another tour the next time we are in TN to visit family and would even request Michael as our tour guide a second time. Thanks for a wonderfully spooky and enchanted evening on a Tennessee October night! - Stephanie Cline
Y'all were awesome! I really enjoyed it. Before the tour (Jonesborough, October 15th, 2013) I didn't really want to stay out too late, but once everything got started, I didn't want to leave! Thanks for such a wonderful experience! - Meghan Vannoy
My entire family loved the Jonesborough GhostWalk we attended this past Saturday. (October 12th, 2013) It was by far, the best Haunted excursion I've ever been on. I've been recommending the tours to all of my friends. Thanks for the great time! - Sonya Breeding
My aunt, niece and a friend took the Dandridge GhostWalk. My aunt and I were skeptical but my niece insisted that we go. My aunt and I ended up having so much fun and were so glad we attended. Our tour guy was awesome and very informative. I highly recommend the tour for some family fun and excitement. - Debbie Solomon
Thank you for the great tour (July 5th, 2013). Our group was big (family reunion), but I think everyone had a great time. It is all they talked about when we got home last night. - The Nickersons
I just wanted to send a note to say that our Appalachian Caverns and Jonesborough tours this past Saturday (March 2013) were both very enjoyable and also extrememly educational. We would love to experience more of the tours you have and would really like to attend your Ghostology 101 Class.
- Shane and Sheila Marsh
We just wanted to thank you again for the very informative tour last night (Dandridge, October 2012). It was truly an experience we will not soon forget. We can't wait to take the next walk soon. You are AWESOME!!!! We have already been spreading the experience with friends and family. We hope to see you again in the NEAR future. God bless you and Appalachian GhostWalks, ALWAYS!! Satisfied customers Here! - The Bolens
I just wanted to thank you for this one of a kind experience (September 2012). We had so much fun and it is still fun after the vacation as we keep looking over some of the awesome photos that we got while on the Dandridge GhostWalk. Can't wait to come back and do another tour! - Rob G.
I had a wonderful time taking your Ghostology 101 (Dowsing and Afterlife Research) course (August 2012). Thanks for the very interesting class and tours. I had a great time and enjoyed the days and nights I spent with Appalachian GhostWalks! - MaryLee Trettenero from Boston
My wife and I along with my two teenage Grandchildren went on the Johnson City (Little Chicago GhostWalk) tour (May 2012). We found this tour to be most interesting. I will say... I was a skeptic, but I am not NOW. Wow, Thanks for the experience. - Winston Nixon
We really had a good time (on the Gatlinburg GhostWalk - May 2012) and learned alot about the history of Gatlinburg and also about the more positive side of ghosts in general. We're trying to get a group together to come on one of the Bigfoot trips (the Cherokee Bigfoot Adventure Tour) later in the year. We've been telling family and friends about it (our tour) since we returned. Thanks again! - The Johnson Family, SC
Thank you so much for the tour on the ETSU campus (ETSU GhostWalk - August 2011). Not only was it informative and amazing, it was a great bonding time for our family. Stacey works magic with his stories and abilities to keep everyone entertained. We look forward to more tours. - The Carrier Family
I just wanted to tell you that we all really enjoyed the Abingdon GhostWalk last night (July 2011). We would also like to do some of the other tours in the future! Michael was great!! Thanks so much!!!
- The Hopkins Family
We have taken other tours all across the country and recently (June 2011) took the Jonesborough Ghost Tour with Appalachian GhostWalks. Following the tour, our family unanimously agreed that this ghost and history tour was better than the haunted tour of the Queen Mary that we took in California!
- The Russell Family
We took the Ghostology 101 Ghost Hunting and Dowsing Class and spent five days with you on vacation (April 2011). We just wanted to take a moment to express our appreciation for all your kindness and the wonderful work you are doing. This has been an experience we'll talk about for a long time to come. Hope to join you again soon!
- The Whitley Family
We had such a GREAT time on our Dandridge GhostWalk last Friday (Aug 2010). We're still talking about how cool and interesting the tour was! Can't wait to do the Jonesborough GhostWalk on our next trip over during Thanksgiving weekend! - Cindy Thomas
I just wanted to email you ASAP to tell you how much we enjoyed the entire day (July 2010). We really learned a lot, not only from the dowsing lesson, but when you spoke about EVP’s. My only regret is that New Jersey is several hours away. I ordered the DVD set of Greeneville, TN to see the other places on the tour we didn’t get to. Again, let me thank you for such a great time. Not only did we all learn a lot, but we laughed a lot and it was really nice to meet someone with the same interests. - Jean Ramalho, NJ
