Awesome Fall Night - Fun evening with mom friends! Interesting without sending us home terrified. As locals it was great to learn more about the area. Eating at Patrick Henry Pub ahead of time was delicious and super convenient. Our waiter even made sure we got our food and checks early so we would make the tour on time.

Awesome Experience - The weather was steamy, but such a great night for ghost stories. My family and I loved walking a path through the past, seeing the neighborhood and hearing about the people who used to live there and the traumas of the area, be it love or war. There were no ghosts on our tour, but through the story telling you could feel vividly the souls who passed through and possibly lingered. I can’t wait to come back for a different tour. Thank you Beth and Chris for an awesome experience.

slightly more interesting than a college lecture - Was not very engaging and felt very much like a college lecture. Some stories were half interesting, but it consisted mainly of standing in 90° weather and listening. Would not recommend.
