Hi, I’m Rachel, the host of STL Dark History Tours & Events! I’m not a historian, but I’ve spent years digging into the real-life stories that shaped St. Louis’ darker past. No ghost stories here, just wild, true tales of crime, scandal, and the people who got caught up in it all.

I host walking tours and storytelling events that make history anything but boring. Whether you’re up for a night of gripping stories or a stroll through the city’s past, you’ll hear about the schemes, mysteries, and larger-than-life characters that left their mark on St. Louis.

History should be fun, a little shocking, and definitely unforgettable, so let’s dive into the real stories hiding in plain sight!
