The historic Strand, a national landmark, was the Wall Street of the South prior to the Great Flood. So many people tried to take refuge in the upper stories of these magnificent bank buildings, but sadly perished. Over 10,000 people died on that fateful night. It is the largest national catastrophe to this day.

As we stand in front of the historic railroad where over 50,000 men would come by train to visit the bordellos, we will examine the hauntings that continue to this very day in the building.

So many dignitaries, soldiers, politicians and even presidents have checked in…but some never checked out. Crying sobs are heard on the stairwells and in the halls. A Civil War soldier marches up and down the lobby for everyone to see. A little boy plays in the hotel rumored to be the ghost of a child run over outside the front of the hotel. One helpful ghost will even unpack for you!

We will pass by the Opera House located in the heart of the Postoffice Street Arts and Entertainment District.

We will pass by this nice historic property representing one of the earliest examples of steel frame-based construction in the state.
