Designed for those with an interest in the supernatural, this 1.5-hour ghost hunt in Citizens Cemetery employs cutting-edge equipment to enhance communication with lingering spirits. Equipped with temperature guns, laser grid lights, and the Ovilius X paranormal communication device, participants explore reputedly haunted locations in Chattanooga, including Patten Chapel and Hooper Hall. This tour is tailored for adults and not recommended for children or those with a sensitive disposition, providing a thrilling and immersive experience into the realm of paranormal activity.
This is an investigation, not a storytelling stroll. Where a standard ghost walk has a guide narrate legends as you pass buildings, this one hands the tools to the participants and treats a single cemetery as the site to work. If you want equipment in your hands and time spent trying to register activity rather than listening to a script, that trade-off is the whole point. The operator states it is built for adults and not recommended for children or anyone easily unsettled, so it is a poor fit for a casual family night out.
Chattanooga's river-town past gives guides here plenty of dark chapters to draw on, and this format leans into the investigative side of that rather than the walking-tour side. Come expecting a slower, more static pace focused on one location, and dress for standing around outdoors after dark.
Questions people ask
Is this suitable for kids?
No. The operator tailors it to adults and specifically advises against bringing children or anyone with a sensitive disposition.
How is this different from a regular ghost tour?
It is a ghost hunt rather than a narrated walk. You spend the time using paranormal equipment to attempt communication at one cemetery, instead of covering many downtown stops by foot.
How long does it run and do I need to bring gear?
It runs about 1.5 hours, and the operator provides the equipment used during the hunt. Plan for time outdoors after dark and dress accordingly.
