About this experience
Greenville Ghost Tours offers a hands-on downtown walking experience led by members of Truth Searchers: Paranormal Investigators. Unlike traditional ghost tours, this experience goes beyond storytelling—it invites you to participate as a paranormal investigator yourself. Guests use real investigative tools and often capture anomalies such as orbs, EVPs, and EMF readings. Blending immersive storytelling with performance art, comedy, & occasional touches of satire or magic, the tour delivers a fun and unforgettable journey through Greenville’s haunted history. The experience was created by owner and paranormal educator Gabe Mathews, who served as lead investigator on Paranormal Exhibition on Amazon Prime. Tours are led by trained Truth Searchers guides who incorporate modern theories, science, and investigative technology. Skeptic or believer, everyone is welcome the only thing separating skepticism from belief is evidence, and this tour gives you the chance to look for it yourself.

Ghost hunters Gone Wild.
Don’t let this ghost hunter fool you, for a guy that says he only has three jokes he’s hilarious and informative. With top-of-the-line paranormal detection gear you will go to all of the hotspots of Greenville. Dr. Gabe Mathews, Jack of all trades, with a new album coming out. You might get lucky enough to hear some ghoulish lyrics. 10 out of 10 I would recommend to anyone in Greenville.

This tour was a huge mistake
We took this tour years ago when they had a lot of reviews. Boy was that a mistake. This tour was absolutely fake, with a bunch of stories about trolls and UFOs. The guide appeared to be out of his mind somehow. It was an incredibly weird experience, and our group leader didn't seem to even want to be there. The other 1-star reviews say the same thing, look at them yourself.
Response from the operator: I’m sorry the tour wasn’t what you were expecting. Our experience blends documented local history with reported paranormal encounters, and it’s presented in an immersive, theatrical style. We are a smaller, locally run operation and we’ve never had “a lot” of reviews at any point in our history. As for the content, we only had one stop to discuss UFOs and one or two cryptid stops with one local folklore story involving a troll-like creature. All of the stories shared on the tour are drawn from published literature, reported sightings, local legends, or historical accounts connected to the area. The vast majority of the tour focuses on documented events and reported experiences tied to specific locations. We understand our style isn’t for everyone. Our goal has always been to create a memorable and entertaining experience, even if it leans a little weird at times. It certainly sounds like it made an impression. We do appreciate you coming out and giving it a try.

Not worth it
Don't bother! Self promoting, wears a terrible headset so close to his mouth that you can't understand a word he says! The ONLY thing good about it was it was a beautiful night!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the feedback! Sorry the audio didn’t land for you. The headset we use is actually one of the better-rated options available (solid reviews and widely used on tours), though outdoor environments and movement can affect how things sound from person to person. It’s rated 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon, and that’s unheard of. We are glad you picked a beautiful night to join us. Weather definitely helps any experience. Imagine how many stars this review might have if it had been cold, rainy, and nefariously haunted. We hope you’ll give us a second chance someday. And if not, you can still check out Paranormal Expedition, currently streaming on Amazon Prime, which features Greenville Ghost Tours owner Gabe Mathews as the lead investigator.

Fantastic, memorable and great.
We had the best time. Gabe was our tour guide and he was amazing. My granddaughter got to participate in several sessions with Gabe. Loved this event.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m really glad you and your granddaughter had such a great time. Getting guests involved is one of my favorite parts of the tour. Thanks again for joining us, and I hope to see you both back for another investigation someday. Be a Searcher!

Save your money!
Am I being punked? That is what I asked my husband literally less than 5 minutes into this tour. It started with a rap from our guide Gabe, yes I said a rap. It was about how he wants a paranormal show & preceded to include like every network & streaming service in this so called rap. Then we moved on to our first stop where he asked if we could find a specific name on a brick on the ground but never told us where it was, rather just moved on to the next stop. 15 minutes in and no ghost or paranormal stories. Then on to the next stop where he ranted that the establishment won't let him investigate even if he promises to put a sheet down when he sleeps as not to get his sweat on their couch. Then was the rant about him being a bit emo & loving The Cure, still no real paranormal story. Then there was his extremely bad jokes if you can even call them that (very awkward) where he asked seriously why we weren't laughing. We finally had a stop where he told a story of a troll, that was the paranormal part I guess. In talking with the others on the tour it was clear we all felt this was an uncomfortable wast of money & time. One couple tipped a street performer because he started playing his guitar over our guides babbling. At an hour in to this two hour what I can only describe as a very awkward fiasco my husband and I gave him back his EMF detector and bounced. A bit later we ran into another family that was on the tour who said they left shortly after we did because it only got worse after we left. Bottom line is this guide Gabe had no clue what he was doing, he rambled on & on about nothing & admitted to not knowing some facts that were part of his stories. He moved from stop to stop without explaining where we were going and never made sure the group was still with him. All in all a complete waste of time and money.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. I’m sorry the experience didn’t align with what you were hoping for, but clearly it w For context for future readers, this tour is intentionally unconventional and performance-driven, blending storytelling, humor, and paranormal investigation rather than following a more traditional format. Any personal references made during the tour are part of that presentation. For accuracy’s sake, I described myself as goth, not emo, and the stories shared are drawn from documented paranormal literature, local reports, and firsthand or secondhand accounts connected to Greenville. Since you chose to leave early, you did not experience the latter half of the tour, where the investigation and a few more traditional paranormal storytelling typically take place. While the experience clearly wasn’t what you were looking for, it was designed to be memorable and leave a lasting impression. I understand this style won’t resonate with everyone, and that’s okay.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Greenville.
How much does Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Greenville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Greenville is not rushed.
Is Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Greenville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Greenville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Greenville and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paranormal Walking Tour by Greenville Ghost Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Greenville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Greenville?
+
Greenville, SC packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Greenville by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Greenville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The 1-Hour Greenville History and More Walking Tour, Greenville City Segway Tour, Pedego Electric Bike Tour at Greenville. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Greenville?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Greenville, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Greenville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
