Patrick was our guide. He was personable, funny, knowledgeable, genuinely interested in what he was doing and saying. To be honest, I thought the ghost walk would be boring, it was anything but boring. I would definitely do this again!

We could not go as there was a lot of lightning and rain. Our tour guide made our safety the most important consideration.

Vince provided just the right balance of intrigue, facts, history and the “unknown” leaving room for speculation and a lingering sense of wonder mixed with apprehension. Great experience!
