North Carolina State Capitol (National Historic Landmark) · Downtown Raleigh Historic District
US Ghost Adventures runs city-branded ghost walks in dozens of U.S. cities under local names; in Raleigh the program is marketed as Raleigh Ghosts, with the flagship walk sold under the title Rust, Rebels & Ruins: Raleigh Ghost Tours. The tour meets at the North Carolina State Capitol, at the intersection of Morgan and Fayetteville Streets, and covers about a mile of downtown Raleigh on foot over roughly an hour, without entering privately owned buildings.
The route draws on Raleigh's role as North Carolina's Civil War-era capital, touching on the State Capitol's underground tunnels and Confederate-era history, the Victorian-era Heck-Andrews House, and the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence. The operator's own site states its stories are drawn from historic reports, local folklore, and recorded sources.

The operator's preview material highlights the North Carolina State Capitol, which it connects to underground tunnels used during the Civil War and reports of Confederate soldiers still glimpsed at the windows; the Heck-Andrews House, which the operator markets around unresolved basic facts, including uncertainty about its exact construction date and who lived and died there; and the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence, which the operator ties to reports of former governors and unexplained noises.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
