Meet the Guides

Connie – Hi, my name is Connie and I am Branson’s very own “hippie”.  I was born here in Branson but did live in Hermann, Missouri for awhile as my family owns Stone Hill Winery.  I enjoy being a musician, singer and I play bass guitar.  Currently I am attending college and majoring in business administration.  The local paper decided to do a story about the ghost tour and they picked my tour to go on, it was fun.  So please join me as we explore the mysteries of Branson and I will show you a great time.

Fred – Hi everyone, my name is Fred and it is my pleasure to show all of you the “Real” Branson.  I am originally from Council Bluffs, Iowa.  As a young child I was interested in history and ghost legends.  Now as an adult I get to talk about and explore all the great ghost legends here in Branson.  I moved to Branson a few years ago and really love it here.  I have spent over 25 years being an actor, singer and director while involved in over 100 productions.  On my first day of giving ghost tours a lost puppy showed up on my doorstep and I named him Casper.  Every once in awhile Casper likes to go with me when I am giving a tour.  So, if I am privilged enough to be your guide one evening, then maybe you can tell everyone that “I went on a ghost tour with Casper”.

Iona – Hello, my name is Iona and welcome to my home of Branson.  I grew up in southeast Kansas and started visiting Branson in the early 60’s.  Shortly after getting married my husband and I spent 35 wonderful years in Oregon raising our children.  I have had the pleasure of doing many jobs in my life but my favorite was being a travel agent.  I booked many tours to Branson and we decided to make this our home when my husband retired.  Since coming to Branson I have become a professional tour guide and am an ambassador for the Branson Chamber of Commerce.  This past year I was very honored and humbled to be named the “Ambassador of the Year”.  Giving ghost tours was a logicial step for me with my knowledge of the area’s history and my own enjoyment of all of our ghost stories and legends.  It would be my pleasure if you would join me for a magical evening of ghost hauntings and legends.

Jessika – Hi everyone, my name is Jessika and I want to welcome you to Branson.  I was born in Oklahoma and have been performing since a very young age of 3.  I am a singer and former tap dancer.  I was entered into the original Star Search where I won the Junior Volicalist title.  I was featured for 5 years in the “Wild, Wild West Show” where I was awarded Branson’s “Young Artist of the Year” award.  I spent many years performing in Nashville with folks like Boxcar Willie and Willie Nelson.  I recently returned to Branson to not only perform as a country singer and actress, but as a tour guide for the Ghost & Haunt Tour of Branson, where we travel down the shadowy streets and alleys of Branson in search of the “REAL” Branson.  So come join me as I take you on a fun filled night of adventure and don’t forget your cameras.

Nancy – Hello everyone, my name is Nancy.  I have been a Certified Tour Director since 1994.  I have escorted groups all over the Untied States, including Alaska and Canada.  I brought many groups here to Branson and loved it so much that I moved here in 2000. I now enjoy giving tours for Ghost & Haunt Tour of Branson and showing everyone the “other” side of this beautiful city. Please join me for a night of fun and mystery.

Norma – Howdy, my name is Norma.  I’ve spent most of my life here in the Ozarks and love sharing the beauty, history and the “spirit” of Branson with our visitiors.  The paranormal has always fascinated me, so giving tours is the perfect thing for me to do.  In fact, my nickname is “Para Norma”, a name given to me by our manager.  I have been giving area tours for over 30 years.  So bring your families, your friends and come see the “REAL” Branson.

Pat – Hi, my name is Pat and welcome to the warmth and beauty of the Ozarks.  I have lived here almost 20 years, spending the last 12 years as a professional tour guide.  It has been my pleasure to show the many tourists that come to this area all of the richness of Branson’s past and present.  I am excited to add the Ghost & Haunt Tour of Branson to my repertoire and hope you can come and enjoy a fun evening as we meet all of Branson’s “other” residents.

Rob – Hello, my name is Rob.  I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.  My father was a musician and when I was young, I would go ith him to all of his rehearsals.  It was at that young age that I decided being a musician was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.  I ended up playing in alot of nightclubs in El Paso.  At one point I lived in Roswell, New Mexico, after I had gotten married, and that is where I got interested in the paranormal.  My music eventually carried me here to Branson, which has been good to me and my family, we love it here.  I currently play the drums in the “Dalena Ditto Show” at the Oak Ridge Boys Theater.  So if you see me in more than one place while visiting you aren’t seeing a ghost.  If you join me on the ghost tour I do promise that if you bring a digital type camera you will get to see real ghosts.
