Do you know why some stories are absolutely terrifying? Because they are TRUE! How about
- The Riverboat captain who alerted the town to ghosts he had just seen at Riverside Cemetery
- A headless haint that searches the historic district for his lost head
- An AWOL Civil War soldier that still roams our town.
- The terrible murder of one of our most inventive citizens
- A flirty ghost that blows gently in your ear and peaks into the baby's crib
- The scandal that was so mournful that the deceased is buried in an unmarked grave
- Mysterious fires that ended with one of Murfreesboro's most shocking arrests
- The Conjure Doctor who attracted clients from all over the country
- The ghosts that roam Chowan University... Yes, there is more than one!..and more...
The Murfreesboro Historical Association is going to lift the veil and rattle all of the skeletons of our historic haunt. There will be eight stops throughout the historic district. Bring a flashlight and join in the fun of learning all about the ghosts, legends and lore of Historic Murfreesboro. You will hear first-hand accounts from our tour guides, some of whom have seen or heard strange, unexplained things with their own eyes and ears. All of our stories and legends come from local historical records and folklore that have been passed down through the generations. In other works, we didn't make any of this stuff up!
The tour will start n the parking lot behind the Elizabeth S Parker Memorial Library in Murfreesboro on Saturday, October 5th at 7 pm with staggered groups going on a walk through time in our historic district. Tickets are $20 for adults, and $10 for children under 12...however we do recommend parental guidance as some of the stories have a truly gruesome edge to them. Buy your tickets online on our website. https://murfreesboronc.org/shop
