"Spooky"

September 2019

A lot of walking, two people doing the tour, the gentleman spent his time talking about his tats. The woman spoke as a escaped patient of the time that was very neat. The group on the tour was very large. Some very interesting historical information. It was a nice tour but, have definitely been on better.

Tip: A lot of walking wear walking shoes

"Super Fun"

June 2019

Took this night tour on June 17, 2019. There are many ghost tours, but I chose this one because the stories are based on actual experiences. Our guide Will was superb. He was dressed in colonial costume and spoke in a British accent as he pretended to be the spirit of Samuel Henning, former local resident. He was knowledgeable, and friendly. We learned a lot about the local history. You can take pictures when the guide directs. May need to use your cellphone flaslight to avoid the occasional horse droppings from the day's carriage rides. All in all, a great tour.

Tip: Bring cellphone for pictures as you never know what the camera might catch that the naked eye can't!

"Enjoyable Tour"

December 2018

This tour was so fun! If you’re one who loves ghost stories and the supernatural, this is for you. The meet up spot is in a cute little shopping center with plenty to do beforehand. Shop and eat before the tour. Our tour guide was excellent. Had a nice voice as well that I could listen to all day.

Tip: Dress for the weather and for walking
