The service industry, including travel and tourism, is among those hardest hit by COVID-19. Some places have gotten creative about how to offer in-person ghost tours with options like drive-thru or online tours. While DC Ghosts has resumed in-person tours, they’ve also launched in-home tours with Ghostflix.
What is Ghostflix?
Since DC Ghosts summed it up so perfectly on their site, I’ve copied and pasted their, well…copy:
In light of COVID-19, we decided to feature live video ghost tours through the streets of over 20 cities. Then, we loved the idea of allowing everyone anywhere to take a ghost tour without traveling, and decided to make this a normal part of our offering.
Ghostflix Tour Options
You can choose from two tour options:
- On Demand
- Live Event
Most live tours take place on either Tuesday or Saturday nights, with a couple of Friday nights on the schedule also.

Is your city on the list? Is there a city you’re interested in taking a tour of?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
My town is not on the list, but I think it’d be fun to stream a tour of Boston.
