Historical Haunts: The Paranormal Side of Memphis

Welllllllll, It`s October ....Halloween. So it`s only natural to want to do something related to the theme. So I went on a ghoooooooooost tour. I reached out to a friend of mine who could very well be the +Fox Mulder  of Memphis +Tanya Vandesteeg . Tanya along with Stephen Guenther of The MidSouth Paranormal Society, are local paranormal investigators who can tell you a lot about true unexplained events that happened here and the mid south.

Part of  The Atlantic Paranormal Society or worldly know as +Syfy `s Ghost Hunters TAPS ( +TAPS HOME TEAM ). Their services include  tours in historic buildings, around downtown,a hunted pub crawl, as well as being able to be a part of actual three hour investigation. I took part is the "Haunted Memphis" Bus tour

I met up with Tanya at her "base of operations" 546 South Main, which is not only home for them but +The Broom Closet  which includes readings and workshops

 and The Fantom Art Gallery which features original artwork from local artist

 A perfect trifecta "The art of Magic and The Magic of Art"

The tour pick up begins at  Tater Reds on Beale Street and ends at +The Orpheum Theatre .As you journey on your macabre trip from point A to point B you learn of the "curse" that was placed on the land by the Chicksaw and the trail of strange mysterious action that follow

The spirit of a little boy has been seen in the main park fountain

The best part of all of this is you don`t have to wait for Halloween to be a part of this, but it sure makes it a lot more fun
