Our Booze and Boos ghost tour began on a cold, moonlit Saturday night three days after Valentines. We gathered at the Dunhill Hotel and had some drinks ā dare I say spirits ā before the rest of the tour group arrived. Deidra, or was it Dead-ra?, introduced herself as our tour guide and quickly passed out glow sticks so we wouldnāt get lost as we toured the Uptown sights and gave us an EMF Detector to help determine if spirits were nearby. The lights quickly went from green to red indicating spirits were close by. Deidra began the tour with great information about the history and ghosts within the Dunhill, and we soon departed for our next stop.
As we left the property the couple that was in our group seemed distressed and distracted ā was the tour going to be too long? Were they worried about the cold? We couldnāt tell, but we were soon at our first stop learning the history of the location and the ghosts that were known to inhabit it. As we were directed to move to our next stop which would be further from the hotel, the young couple was no longer with us. Everyone looked up and down the street for the couple ā looking for the glow sticks, a sign, or a face, but the couple seemed to have simply vanished from our presence. As we decided to continue the tour we noted that the EMF went from red (spirit activity) to green (normal) with the departure of the young couple. We continued the tour and had a wonderful time, learning the history of the locations, hearing stories of the mischievous ghosts, and seeing the signs that theyāve left behind for us.
Overall, we had a fun time and gave three cheers for the Booze and Boos night.
