Our Story
Born in Savannah. Built on True Stories.
Destination Ghost Tours began where history and hauntings share the same streets. Established 2010 in Savannah, Georgia, we set out with one belief: ghost stories deserve the same care as history books.
Roots in Real Research
Long before the first tour ever stepped off, our story began in the field. Our roots reach back to grassroots paranormal research founded in the year 2000, with long nights spent in cemeteries, historic homes, and forgotten places, listening for the stories others had stopped telling. That investigative discipline still shapes everything we do. We chase the documented over the dramatic, and every legend we share is grounded in archives, records, and firsthand accounts.
A Company Grows in Savannah
Established 2010 as Haunted Savannah Tours, we quickly earned a reputation as one of the city's top ghost tour companies. By day we researched; by night we guided, weaving together history, legend, and truth on the gaslit streets of one of America's most haunted cities.
But what made those tours unforgettable was never any one person. It was the people who gathered around the idea: historians, authors, opera singers, actors, and investigators, each bringing their own craft to the telling. Tour by tour, that group of storytellers became a company, and the company became a family.
Preserving the Legends
With every tour and investigation, our purpose deepened. We came to understand that ghosts are not merely apparitions. They are the stories of forgotten people and silenced voices echoing through time. A ghost story, told with care and accuracy, is an act of remembrance. It keeps a name alive.
That realization became our mission: to preserve the haunted heritage of the places we serve, to honor the communities that hold these stories, and to tell them with the respect they deserve.
Beyond One City
Savannah revealed our calling, but the vision reached further. Destination Ghost Tours emerged as a growing network of haunted history, connecting the world's most haunted places and their storytellers under a single name. From the nation's oldest city in St. Augustine to new destinations on the horizon, each city we launch adds another chapter to a living archive of America's haunted heritage.
Many hands built this. Some remain with us; others have since passed into memory. Together they formed the foundation of a community devoted to the stories that haunt us all.
Today and Beyond
Today, Destination Ghost Tours stands as both a platform and a promise: to explore, to preserve, and to share the stories of the forgotten. We are a home for storytellers, historians, believers, and skeptics alike. A place where wonder never dies, and curiosity lights the dark.
With more than 15,000 tours given and a community that grows every night, the best chapters are still being written. We hope you'll walk with us for one of them.
