What To Expect
602 Cemetery Rd, a location adjacent to a historic cemetery, is known for its ghostly sightings and supernatural occurrences. The proximity to the cemetery contributes to its haunted reputation, with reports of restless spirits and unexplained phenomena. The serene setting contrasts with the eerie tales that linger in the area.
A peaceful park by day, but after dark, something unsettling stirs in the air. Locals speak of ghostly laughter echoing near the waterfront, where spirits of the lost colony may still linger. A few unfortunate souls have even felt an unseen presence brush past them as they stroll the paths.

Has potential but improvements are needed

1.00My group was excited for this ghost tour, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The locations and stories had a lot of potential, but the experience was held back by our guide, who was clearly new and still getting comfortable. She read straight from a script, which made the tour feel more like a lecture than a spooky, immersive experience. There was little engagement, and when asked questions, the guide struggled to go beyond what was written. That being said, the content itself was interesting, and with a more confident, experienced guide, this tour could be great. The stops were well-chosen, and the accompanying stories were compelling—it just needed a better storyteller to bring them to life. I wouldn’t recommend this tour in its current state, but I do think it has promise. With more practice and an experienced guide who can add personality and suspense to the stories, this could be a truly memorable experience. Hopefully, with time, it improves!
