Overview
Little Rock’s Night of Whispers: A Haunted History Walking Tour
When the twilight settles over downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, a deeper shadow falls upon the historic streets. Step into a world where the echoes of the past are more than just stories—they are restless spirits waiting to be heard. Do you dare to walk the same ground as the Civil War soldiers, tragic lovers, and powerful politicians whose legacies linger long after death?
Forget the textbooks. This is the capital city's hidden history—a chilling journey through its most notoriously haunted sites. We invite you to peel back the polished façade of historic Little Rock and confront the spectral secrets lurking in its most famous buildings.
You will stand beneath the towering gables of grand, historic hotels where guests checked in but never truly checked out. Hear the mournful tales of figures tied to our venerable Old State House who still conduct their otherworldly affairs in the halls of power. Discover the grim, untold stories behind the city’s landmark homes and military structures, haunted by those who dedicated their lives—and ultimately, their souls—to the city’s founding.
This isn't a theatrical show; it's an unfiltered exploration of genuine accounts and documented paranormal activity reported across Little Rock, AR. If you seek authentic frights and well-researched history, join us after dark. The spirits of Arkansas are waiting.
