Itinerary and highlights
Stories of deaths and ghosts, rumors and murmurs in the Old Stone House
Why will no one live in these apartments for long? Could the building hold memories from when this was a Civil War hospital, full of moans and loss?
Walk the spooky streets on a night-time walk talking about the true (or as true as Victorian residents believed) stories of spooky curses, haunted houses, and the macabre (but still family friendly!). A Halloween vibe all year long.
We'll walk along the old "high street" - what was once a Native American trading road and is now home to the restaurants and shops of the neighborhood.
It's a legit haunted house—we've seen the ghost of a long-gone resident who refused to leave his life's work in this 18th-century home.
See the spooky dark spires of the campus' at night as we walk the cobblestone streets.
See the famed Exorcist steps.
