Step back in time as we explore Marion's historic Depot District, where the railroad transformed a small mountain town into a thriving center of commerce—and where some believe the past has never truly left.

This guided Historical Ghost Walk combines documented local history with the legends, folklore, and unexplained stories that have been passed down through generations. Discover the people, places, and tragedies that helped shape Marion while walking the same streets once traveled by railroad workers, merchants, travelers, and townspeople more than a century ago.

Along the way, you'll hear the chilling tale of the mysterious Headless Young Man, whose spirit is said to continue walking the railroad tracks searching for what was lost on one tragic night. Is it merely legend, or have witnesses truly encountered an unexplained figure near the tracks after dark? You'll have to decide for yourself.

Your evening doesn't end with the walk. Following the tour, guests will have exclusive access to investigate one of the Historic Depot District's reportedly haunted buildings. Using a variety of paranormal investigation techniques and equipment, you'll have the opportunity to experience the location for yourself and determine whether the stories surrounding this historic building are fact—or folklore.

Whether you're fascinated by local history, intrigued by ghost stories, or simply looking for a unique way to kick off Bigfoot Festival weekend, this unforgettable experience offers a perfect blend of history, mystery, and adventure.

Tour begins at 7:45 PM. Comfortable walking shoes and a flashlight are recommended.
