About

Indianapolis Ghosts offers one of the city's most entertaining and atmospheric ways to experience local history — through the lens of ghost stories, haunted legends, and paranormal encounters associated with Indianapolis's most historic locations. The guided walking tours take small groups through downtown streets and historic neighborhoods, with expert guides weaving together genuine local history and chilling ghost lore in a format that is engaging, theatrical, and genuinely fun. For families with older children, tweens, and teens who have a taste for the spooky and the mysterious, an Indianapolis Ghosts tour provides a memorable evening outing unlike any typical daytime attraction.

The guides are skilled storytellers who keep the energy high and the stories compelling throughout the tour, covering locations with reported supernatural histories including historic hotels, old theaters, and shadowy alleys that take on an entirely different character after dark. Note that the company also offers haunted pub crawls that are adult-oriented — families should book the dedicated ghost tour options rather than pub crawls. October tours during Halloween season are the most atmospheric and popular, regularly selling out well in advance.

Comfortable shoes and warm layers are essential for evening walking tours in fall.
