    This tour was one of the best that I’ve been on. Our tour guide gave so much historical information, which I really appreciated. He called out certain things to note, shared photos, personal experiences and stories of what has happened during his tours. He let us ask questions, tell our own stories, and had all the things a ghost hunter would need (and let us try them!) I will definitely be booking in the future, but probably when it’s a little warmer out.
