Great ghost tour! Our guide Christine was very knowledgeable about local history and an awesome storyteller. We didn’t see any ghosts ourselves, but still had a blast!
Tons of fun!

We had a wonderful time with Nina on our tour. She did a great job of sharing the history of each location. We had a rather large group - close to 50 people. It would have been nice to have 2 tour guides or have the guide use a wireless microphone/speaker to make it easier to hear.
Great ghost tour, despite the weather!

Patrick was an outstanding guide knowledgeable, entertaining, and a fantastic storyteller. His mix of historical facts and chilling ghost tales made the entire tour come alive. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and knows the history inside and out. Every stop had just the right balance of suspense, humor, and fascinating detail. I left with goosebumps and a whole new appreciation for the city’s past. If you’re thinking about taking a ghost tour, ask for Patrick you won’t be disappointed!

We did 2 tours, the first one was awesome. Katherine did a amazing job. 👍🏻👍🏻 She is a really good story teller. She interacted very well with the group and made the experience very interesting and enjoyable. The 2nd tour we did not like so much. He offered a emf thing but that was about it. Nothing like was said in the equipment list the was listed. Was not a good story teller. Did not enjoy the 2nd tour.
Haunting and Authentic!

Our experience was authentically haunting! We did the Echoes of Twilight Late Night Ultimate tour. Our guide, Patrick, was well-informed and spoke with a cadence that fit the mood. He shared images and stories during the tour. My friend ended up taking a photo of the Randolph House in which we see a ton of faces in one window! The price of our tickets was also reasonable, especially considering this is peak season! One recommendation I have is to remind tour members to keep their flash OFF when taking pictures. 5/5 experience!! Grab a warm drink and enjoy the walk 🥰
Great ghost tour!!
