It was a very cold and windy night, we were the only two in the group and glad Steve didn't cancel! The wind took any "spookyness" out of it but the history tie ins were interesting and something to do in the evening during covid!

Horrible experience. I got a text from the ghost tour company canceling on us, just a few minutes before my family and I were going to head out the house. They told us they did not have any tour guides available to give tours. Which is absurd because I had this tour booked for two weeks in advanced. And we got told this just minutes before our tour. Very inconsiderate, and still not refund has been given.
