Hanging out with a half...

Carol_S, Aug 2023

Hanging out with a half dead guy, communing with the spirits of Waco, and absorbing some rich history. What more can you ask for on a midsummer night?

Not what I was expecting....

david_f, Aug 2023

Not what I was expecting. I would expect to, at least, enter some venues where alleged activity occurs. We did not. Instead, stood in a psarking lot and stood on a sidewalk. Cannot recommend.

Awesome ghost tour!

Our tour guide Adam was awesome! He's super friendly and funny. He was very knowledgeable of the Waco History. My son really enjoyed it and we were so impressed with the spirit box at the parking lot. Highly recommend it! After the tour he personally spoke to us individually about what we heard on the spirit box.

Spooky Fun

Spirits of Waco

Melanie_L, Mar 2022

When we booked a ghost tour last minute, I’m not sure what I expected. Some scary stories and old buildings maybe. But I realized this was legit when Adam said as the van pulled away, “So I’m a retired demonologist and paranormal professional.” Using different technology in some of Waco’s historic sites, he actually led us through communicating with spirits. It was absolutely mind blowing and unforgettable. Adam is kind, pleasant, and a wealth of information, and we felt very safe with him. Can’t wait to do this again!

Tiffany_S, Mar 2022

Adam was very knowledgeable and you could feel his passion for sharing with the group. He was super friendly and created a fun vibe. 100% recommend and would sign up to do a tour again when we come to Waco.

Highly recommended!

Jennifer_A, Mar 2022

Adam was wonderful with his history and paranormal knowledge of the area. Our experience was much better than expected! I will be going on another tour soon.
