Historical Ghost Lantern Tour
Description
Experience a walking tour that brings the ghosts of Traverse City back to life. The tour concludes with a ghost hunting experience at Traverse City's first official cemetery with real ghost hunting equipment!
The Downtown Traverse City Ghost Tour is a walking, 90-minute tour and we go rain or shine. The tour path will head west on Front St, South on Union St, and the tour includes a short ghost hunt at Hannah Park. We walk approximately 10-11 blocks or 1.5 miles so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. The pace is slow to medium-paced at times on sidewalks and a grassy park. After the investigation concludes, head off to enjoy the fine restaurants and engaging entertainment Downtown Traverse City offers.
****Add-On Option: Old Towne Ghost Tour****
If 90 minutes isn't enough to fulfill your ghost story needs, when booking your Historical Ghost Lantern Tour ticket, you can Add-on and purchase an additional 60-minute Old Towne Ghost Tour exploring the haunted Old Towne Neighborhood. This tour will start a few minutes after the conclusion of the Historical Ghost Lantern Tour.
The Old Towne Ghost Tour is a fascinating history of funeral undertakers and a haunted theater. (Not as much walking for this part, we will only be walking 3 city blocks total).
The tour will come to a spirited conclusion at the Haunting of the Old Towne Playhouse and its 2 Mischievous resident spirits.

Tours are presented with theatrical, storytelling by your experienced, local tour guide. 100% outdoor tour please dress for the weather. There are public restrooms located along the way when in the downtown area, but the tour does not have scheduled restroom stops. Please plan accordingly. Pictures are welcome but please no video of your tour guide. I get shy and self-conscious when on camera and much prefer to have conversations with my guests instead.
