About

BlackList Tours offers one of Indianapolis's most uniquely thrilling family experiences — guided ghost tours and haunted history walks through the city's most storied and atmospheric locations. Designed for visitors who want to explore the darker and more mysterious side of Indy's history, these tours are a perfect fit for older kids, tweens, and teens who have a taste for the eerie and the historically unusual. Knowledgeable guides lead groups through historic neighborhoods, sharing chilling stories of local legends, unsolved mysteries, and reported paranormal activity associated with specific Indianapolis locations.

The storytelling is theatrical and engaging, making the experience feel genuinely suspenseful without crossing into gratuitously frightening territory. For families with curious older children who find traditional sightseeing tours too passive, a BlackList ghost tour provides a memorable and adrenaline-tinged alternative that gets kids asking questions and wanting to know more. October tours during Halloween season are particularly atmospheric and popular, often selling out weeks in advance.

The tours involve moderate walking through city streets and work best in dry weather during the evening hours when the atmosphere is most appropriately moody.
