A river city with a haunted past and currents of rebellion hides beneath Chattanooga’s postcard-perfect surface. Ghosts linger in glimmering hotel lobbies and secret deals echo within quiet church walls.

This self-guided audio tour leads you straight into the city’s beating heart. Discover hidden stories and overlooked places most visitors never find.

What sinister secrets once swirled beneath the glassy waters of the Tennessee Aquarium? How did a single scandal inside The Read House Hotel nearly topple reputations—and change the city forever? Why do people whisper about a vanishing Bible locked away at First Presbyterian Church?

Wander alongside the ghosts of bootleggers, visionaries, and lost causes. Soak in a living city where every carefully carved stone and flickering neon asks you to look deeper. Each stop reveals new drama in the quiet streets and buzzing riverside.

The river is never still. Listen now and start your journey into Chattanooga’s shadows.
