Hello! My name is Morgyn Brannon. I am a Bachelors of Arts History student with a Philosophy minor at Western Carolina University, and expect to graduate in the Fall of 2026. (Go Cats!) I have previously lead tours through Lost in Time Historic Ghosts Tours, but am now starting on my own. I have led ghost tours for about a year.
Some of my strongest skills is working with a variety of age groups and public speaking. I have public speaking experience as a student and through previous tours. I am also a member of The Overlook Theatre Company and have participated in countless performances for over 10 years.
One of my greatest passions is storytelling and education. I believe that education is a fundamental right for all, and can appear in any form. I love learning new things and sharing those discoveries with other people. As a historian, I engage my passions to teach others through recalling legends and history.
