The Original Haunted Memphis Bus Tour drives past historic Court Square, Victorian Village (home to the Woodruff-Fontaine House, which the operator notes was featured on Ghost Hunters), The Arcade Restaurant (billed as Memphis's oldest cafe), and Native American mounds, with small on-the-spot ghost-hunting-equipment demonstrations at some stops.
