What To Expect
Learn about George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War Hero that is considered the founder of Louisville. It is said that his spirit is attached to his statue--the air around it often turns freezing cold and visitors can feel a dark, angry energy.
Hear about the haunted past of the Mary M. Miller Riverboat, whose namesake is seen frequenting the control room to this day. Mary broke the mold when she became America's first female licensed steamboat captain, and her story is one not to be missed.

5.00The experience was an enjoyable evening walk to not only see several sights of Louisville (like the Ohio River and the bridges) alit at night, but also to learn about some of the darker and more haunted history of the town. Belle was my tour guide. She was kind and informative, and I enjoyed listening to her.
So fun!!
