Description

Step into the eerie world of Old Towne, where 5 undertakers once roamed a single block in the 1800s. Is one of them still performing his duties to this day? Explore the chilling tales of a haunted playhouse where the piano music is not comforting to its listeners.  Embark with your tour guide as the captivating history and dark secrets of Old Towne are revealed.

Why take this tour?

If you really want to get the most of your evening, book the Historical Ghost Lantern Tour first and then select the add-on option for the Old Towne Ghost Tour. The Old Towne Ghost Tour will begin shortly after the ghost lantern tour concludes. 

 

The Old Towne Ghost Tour takes guests farther afield from the downtown area where it is quieter, darker, and more chilling. Where the Historical Ghost Lantern concludes is where this tour begins after a short rest and break. 

 

Our Traverse City walking ghost tour sweeps its guests up into fun ghost storytelling with some humor, chills, and spirit! A visceral, interactive experience for tour guests to learn the enchanting, enthralling, and spooky history of T.C.'s Old Towne's past.  

Add-on:  After-Hours Spirits & Spirits Conversation 

Join your tour guide after this tour concludes at a local bar where we dive into deeper and darker ghost stories. This is a more relaxed environment, seated with drinks and good 'ol fashion bar Irish bar food, where guests and the tour guide explore the terror-riddled side and stories of the area. Murder, hauntings, and of course your guide will let you choose which topics of interests you wish to explore! Because of the darker topics and location, this is for ages 21+

 

*Beverages and food are not included in the After-Hours Spirits and Spirits  Conversation.

Included

Ghost Hunting Equipment is provided for the Historical Ghost Lantern Tour and The Ghost Hunting Experience.

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.
