About Waxahachie Haunted History Tours

Waxahachie Haunted History Tours offers two-hour walking tours through downtown Waxahachie led by local historian Doug Reid. Visitors explore the darker aspects of the town's past, learning about gunfights, lynchings, murders, and brothels that conventional history tends to overlook. The tour includes stops at historic sites such as the Rogers Hotel and the Ellis County Courthouse, along with lesser-known addresses throughout the downtown area. Tours do not enter buildings; instead, participants walk approximately 0.68 miles between outdoor stops, with benches available at many locations. Visitors are encouraged to bring cameras or phones to capture potential paranormal activity, though sightings are not guaranteed. The tour suits participants 13 and older, though history enthusiasts of any age are welcome. Early elementary students may find the two-hour duration challenging. Attendees should wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.
