- Tamar KLittle Rock, United States10 contributionsThis would be an excellent experience in Spring or fall not in the mid of summer.

Erin is a phenomenal guide—knowledgeable, kind, and full of captivating stories that brought the spooky history of the area to life. She struck the perfect balance between fascinating facts and eerie tales, keeping us entertained the entire time.
One of the best parts? We could bring our dog along! Erin was so gracious and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable for everyone in our group (including our furry friend).
My friends and I had an amazing time—it was the perfect mix of thrills, history, and fun. If you’re looking for a ghost tour that’s both dog-friendly and unforgettable, Erin Pollet is the guide for you.
