Historic Walking Tours Exploring Covington’s History & Reported Hauntings
Covington is rich with history and hauntings. Long before the town became a destination for film and television, Covington’s historic Square was the center of daily life — a place shaped by generations of residents, pivotal moments, and stories that never fully faded. Covington Ghost Tours exists to explore those stories with care, curiosity, and respect.
This guided historic walking tour focuses on the documented past of downtown Covington and the first-hand accounts of unexplained experiences that continue to be shared today. These are the stories that were already here — long before the cameras ever arrived.
A Town Where History Still Lingers
Covington’s historic Square has stood for nearly two centuries, bearing witness to change, hardship, celebration, and everyday life. Many of the buildings along the Square date back to the 19th century, and their walls have absorbed more than what appears in photographs or plaques.
Over time, reports of unexplained activity have emerged from all four sides of the historic Covington Square. These accounts come from locals, business owners, and visitors — shared quietly, often without expectation, and frequently by people who were not seeking anything unusual at all.
What makes these stories compelling is not spectacle, but consistency:
-
Different locations
-
Different people
-
Different years
-
Similar experiences
First-Hand, Modern Accounts
Covington Ghost Tours does not rely solely on folklore or legend.
The stories shared on the tour include:
-
First-hand modern experiences
-
Accounts reported by people familiar with the Square
-
Observations that occurred during ordinary moments — not staged encounters
These experiences are presented alongside historical context, allowing guests to better understand how place, memory, and lived experience intersect over time.

Covington Ghost Tours exists to preserve and share that legacy thoughtfully. History came first. The stories followed. And some are still being told.
