The Terrell Ghost Walk runs every Saturday at 8 PM.  Additional tours may be added depending on demand and posted on this site as scheduled.

We keep our groups small (maximum of 6 people) because it provides a better experience for our guests.  Reservations are required, and we recommend that you book early. 

The tour lasts about 2 1/2 hours, but you won’t become bored with it.

The Terrell Ghost Walk runs May through October of each year.  

Private tours are available on request, with advanced notice. Private walks are available year-round.  Contact us at 972-546-7536 (no text messages, please call)

Our tour has been running since 2014.

PLEASE ARRIVE A FEW MINUTES EARLY

I arrive at the meeting area (more info below) by 7:45.  Tour starts at 8:00 PM.  

When you check in, I will send you a link to evidence and photos of some of the buildings we will be visiting.   

We meet in the parking lot across the street from Books and Crannies/Iris Theater.  You will see the Iris Theater marquee.  You will see the mural of an airplane in the lot.  

I will be parked side-ways to Moore Avenue in a white, Ford SUV.  Trunk and driver’s door open.  Just look for the lady with the white legs and awesome turquoise Clogs.

1st Hour of Haunted Tour

We do a walking tour of the small business district and see Terrell’s unique historical side ee a unique historical side of Terrell most residents haven’t seen. You will have opportunities to experiment with EMF meters (provided), and photography is strongly encouraged.   

Some guests have recommended a phone app with a dictionary of words that come through during our exploration.  It is free and available on iOS and Android.  You can learn more and download the link HERE.

2nd Hour of Haunted Tour

Our investigation will occur in a quiet courtyard between 4 businesses; at least 2 are documented haunted businesses.  We are getting evidence there regularly.

Professional paranormal equipment for guests to work with (I will help guide everyone).

After the tour, I review the audio evidence and post anything I think is relevant.  This year, we are finding things we missed during the investigation.  

This is a private, intimate, and relaxed atmosphere.  It is a great time to share stories and ask questions about the supernatural.

We enter through the Side Street Bar and Restaurant.  You can grab a beverage of your choice while we investigate. Please be sure to take good care of your waitress. (additional cost).  We fully expect all guests to drink responsibly.  Failure to do so may result in dismissal.

You are encouraged to bring video cameras and audio recorders (any smartphone will do).   

WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET YOUR GUIDE: BLESS HER HEART

Your tour guide is an experienced paranormal investigator who has extensively researched ghostly activity in Terrell.  She even wrote a book about it:  The Ghost Stories of Terrell, Texas.  (Guests can purchase at the Ghost Walk for only $10).  Brenda Newby is trained in Critical Thinking, The Psychology of Paranormal Belief, and she is a certified field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network.  Brenda has completed some studies in parapsychology and is the team’s Electronic Voice Phenomenon specialist. 

Brenda is also one of our podcast hosts:  Terrell Paranormal Talk.

Here is a recent mugshot, we mean, photograph.

Fun Facts About Brenda:

She is experienced in training bully breed dogs. She used techniques that often require an owner with immense confidence and a great deal of bravado.  You never get used to a dog who weighs as much as you do but has much bigger teeth.  Her boxers were trained like show dogs, and she took great pride in them.  Brenda wore her bite scars like a warrior.  Sadly, her dear friends made it to Rainbow Bridge.

She stole/rescued (a gray area) two chihuahuas.  They were street dogs with serious street cred.  Since living with central heat and air, they have become bougie. They act like they pay rent.  Both are out of control and have no respect for her.  

Brenda is a real piece of work.  However, she can tell a great ghost story.

DISCLOSURE:  AKA, THE FINE PRINT

On many occasions, we catch potential evidence of a haunting:  A possible paranormal photograph, Communication from our devices, or other evidence of a haunting.  On two occasions, tour guides and guests witnessed what was perceived as an apparition.

I’ve had guests get spooked and leave the tour.

There are just as many occasions we get NO response.  I don’t control the ghosts, and I cannot make them interact.

These spirits know the tour guides, but only the spirits can decide to communicate.  

We are working with the souls of the departed.  We believe they choose to visit the location when they want.  They are people and should be treated with courtesy and respect. 

EXPLOITATION OR DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE SPIRITS OF TERRELL OR THE GUESTS OF THE TOUR IS UNACCEPTABLE.  

DON´T MAKE ME GET MY FRIEND, GUIDO, AFTER YOU.

HIGH HEELS ARE NOT A GREAT IDEA:  BE PREPARED.

There is a lot of walking on the tour. We cover sidewalks, alleyways, and gravel paths. Wear good shoes and dress according to the weather conditions. 

The walking portion of the tour is handicap accessible.  The indoor part of the tour may not be as many buildings are historical landmarks.

There may be stairs or uneven surfaces; please be advised.

We run the tour rain or shine.  We will cancel if there is an immediate weather warning or an excessive pour-down in the area at the tour time. 

Bring an umbrella if it’s raining, but I can change things up to keep us as dry as possible.

We will contact you at the phone number you provided when you registered in case of cancellation.  

Most of your questions can be answered HERE.

Don´t hesitate to call or email if you have other questions.

Our ticket page says we require 1 days notice to refund or transfer.  We do ask for 3 hours notice.  Often we have a waiting list and can replace your reservation.

There are no refunds for no-shows.

If you plan to be late, no problem, give me a call and we can delay a bit or I can tell you where to meet up with us.  If I haven´t heard from you, I will be calling.
