Waco: Haunted Legends Ghost Tour & Cameron Park Stops

Summary

Waco’s haunted past comes alive on wheels with local tales and interactive chills

You’ll join a small group exploring Waco’s haunted sites by van with a local guide, hearing gritty legends from downtown to Cameron Park. Try real ghost-hunting tools during interactive sessions and share some laughs (and maybe chills) with fellow travelers. The stories stick with you — especially when you’re back in your hotel room later.

What’s the experience like?

“Did you hear that?” someone whispered behind me as we rolled past an old brick building in downtown Waco. Our guide, Marcus, just grinned — he’d already told us about the tornado of ’53 and the stories that still linger in these streets. I could smell rain on the pavement even though it hadn’t rained in hours, and there was this weird hush outside when he pointed out where the old red light district used to be. It’s funny, I never thought Waco would feel this eerie at night.

The van bumped along toward Cameron Park, windows slightly fogged from all of us breathing a little heavier than usual (maybe nerves or maybe just Texas humidity). Marcus handed around some ghost-hunting gadgets — I’m not sure what I expected, but they beeped and blinked like something out of a sci-fi movie. He let us try them ourselves. When my EMF reader spiked near an old oak tree, Li laughed at my face but she wouldn’t hold it herself after that. There was this moment where nobody said anything — just the sound of cicadas and our own shoes crunching gravel as we stepped out for “interactive contact.”

I didn’t expect to actually feel spooked, honestly. But hearing those local legends straight from someone who grew up here? It hits different than reading about it online. Plus, Marcus knew which alleyways had the best ghost stories (and which ones just had good tacos). The whole thing felt loose and unscripted — sometimes he’d pause mid-story to answer a random question or point out something small, like a faded handprint on a wall. I still think about that view over the river at dusk, how quiet it got for a second before someone cracked a joke about hitchhiking ghosts.
