But they can also perpetuate damaging narratives. Dr. Tiya Miles researched ghost tours from Charleston to New Orleans for her bookTales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era. Miles talks with co-host Jeff Tiberii about the ghost tour industry in the South and explores the ways many tours have peddled in racist and misogynistic tropes. She also says these tours have the power to reveal important and often untold Southern history, but only when the stories are told with nuance and care.
