What makes Haunted Knoxville the Best Tour in the Country?
Haunted Knoxville Tours (www.knoxgost.NET) is a One-of-a-Kind ghost hunting experience. Not only do you get to learn the True History of Knoxville, but you get to go on a real paranormal investigation. Our Tour guides are trained and educated on the History of Knoxville, they go through a certification process for each and every tour, and they train with internationally recognized Paranormal Investigator, J-Adam Smith. www.jadamsmith.net
Do Haunted Knoxville Tours promote Team Building?
Yes, Our Tours are designed to be an interactive experience with a twist of Excitement! On our Investigations our New Investigators are given REAL paranormal investigation tools, educated on the usage, and are guided to real haunted locations. The science of paranormal investigation requires strong communication and Team-work. Participants, must work together to support any Paranormal disturbance. So, in essence, if you have a group that is in need of bonding activities, this tour can be a catalyst for you, and they will love you for it. We are booking private tours for Medium to Large Groups. You can contact us at: hauntedknoxville@gmail.com
Does your Walking Tour go into Buildings downtown?
No, We have searched for Haunted locations, that happen to be right under your feet. Our Ground Zeros, or Locations of Traumatic Incidents, are all on the Streets and Sidewalks. And, we have so many, that we have to have multiple tours.

Yes, We have special events that give our clients the experience of going inside buildings. Currently our special events are: Nightmare on the Tracks | The great Fire Investigation | Atomic Tour (Coming Soon)
Be advised that the price per ticket will be a bit more on special events due to additional costs associated with those events.
