Dallas history is an important part of any Texas student’s curriculum. Nightly Spirits has a way to extend that lesson beyond the classroom and bring your students to the place where it all began. We strive to balance educational content with entertainment as we share Dallas’s rich history in an unexpected way…with ghosts!

The Haunted History Tour of Downtown Dallas is a spooky outdoor walking journey that dives deep into the history of this beautiful city. Groups will meet their costumed guide at Main Street Garden Park, where they’ll learn the of how Dallas began and grew into the booming corporate city that it is today. From there, we can see some of the most haunted Buildings in the city. We will share their spooky tales and the origins explaining how they got that way. We’ll even share the lesser known tales of Jazz and Blues legends that lurk across the way in Historic Deep Ellum. Your guide will lead you on an historic journey, where, along the way, you’ll hear tales of political scandal, ghostly businessmen, and citizens of old who have refused to jump on board with the rest of this progressive city. Don’t worry, most of the spirits are friendly, but just in case you want to avoid any ghostly encounters, your guide will be equipped with an EMF Reader, so we know exactly where the ghosts are lurking.

We share your passion for your students’ education. We want them to leave our tour having had a great, memorable time, and having learned more about our city’s history. Nightly Spirits Dallas Haunted History Tour is a unique experience that your students will never forget.
