The tour covers the Berman Building's Civil War-era basement cell and 1863 raid narrative, alongside reported activity at the Metropolitan Theatre, 123 Pleasant Street (formerly the Underground Railroad club, tied to the disappearance of former owner Marsha Ferber), and Hotel Morgan's long-associated "woman in white" story. The operator's marketing promises guides who "delve into the city's dark past" with researched murder-mystery and paranormal narratives along the route.

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material and guide narration, 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.
