GSM Adventure Tours

The Great Gatlinburg Gold Heist is waiting for you to crack it. In September 1925, Confederate gold was discovered on Ogle family land and put on display at the old Merchantile on the Parkway. During a violent thunderstorm one night, the gold vanished. Five suspects had the means, motive, and opportunity — all five were dead within a year. The gold has never been found. GSM Adventure Tours puts the case in your hands. Walk the streets of downtown Gatlinburg as a paranormal detective. Visit ten real-world landmarks. Confront the ghosts of five suspects in AR — each with their own story, their own alibi, their own version of the truth. Gather evidence, eliminate possibilities, and stake your reputation on a single answer: WHO stole the gold, HOW did they do it, and WHERE did they hide it?
