River City Ghost Tours

October 2-31, 2026

Venture, if you dare, into the shadowy heart of Paducah as we unmask the chilling tales that lie beneath the surface of this historic land. We’ll traverse the haunted corners of history, drawing from a web of tales from age-old newspaper accounts, hallowed books, long-forgotten letters, and the firsthand accounts of those brave – or foolish – enough to bear witness to these eerie events. Tickets on sale starting August 21.

Downtown Paducah Tours
October 2-24, 2026

Our haunted jaunts of Downtown Paducah Tours commence with tours embarking on their chilling journeys at 6:15pm, 7:30pm, and 8:45pm. Additional treks into the spectral night may be added upon demand. Our tours are an exclusive affair, limited to only the first 12 brave souls. The ghostly trail through downtown covers an eerie 3/4-mile stretch within a haunting five-block radius, leading us to the eerie riverfront lasting approximately an hour. The Downtown tours are accessible by wheelchair.

Oak Grove Cemetery Tours
October 29-31, 2026

Our ghostly tours of the Oak Grove Cemetery Ghost Tours commence with tours embarking on their chilling journeys at 6:15 PM, 7:30 PM, and 8:45 PM. Additional treks may be added upon demand. Our tours are an exclusive affair, limited to only the first 15 brave souls. The ghostly trail through the cemetery covers an eerie one mile stretch on uneven terrain and lasts approximately 90 minutes.

Heed the clock as our spine-chilling journeys begin right on time, rain or shine. Bring a jacket to fend off the chill of the night, an umbrella to ward off the elements, and comfortable shoes for the journey. We look forward to your daring presence as we uncover the spooky secrets of Paducah.

Please note: our tour may not be suitable for children under 8 years old.
