stacey_j, Sept 2023

Response from Host, Sept 2023

" I would recommend this tour" Thank you for your endorsement.

Incredible a bucket list one of a time experience

Robert_B, Sept 2023

I cannot say how much fun this was. Mark C was one of the most knowledgeable, friendliest guides I ever met. He is really passionate about the paranormal. He knows the area like the back of his head. He goes at a pace so you really get the full experience. It says 90 min but you go until the last man is standing. I had some cool experiences myself, just wish I had evidence to back it up.

"how much fun this was" Thank you for another FIVE STAR REVIEW.

This is thee most for real ghost tour we've ever been on - a must!

Kelly_O, Aug 2023

Marc - with a C - is a true ghost hunter! We absolutely had an incredible time and this was, hands down, thee best ghost hunt we have ever had! We are scheduling another this week! Marc took us to an area near the school where we could sit on the ground. I just wish I had brought a blanket or collapsable chair with me. Next time. Thank you for an awesome night under the stars! *This is a real review from a real customer who used her own money to buy tickets to this tour and was not paid or sponsored to write a review.

Not worth it

Deborah_B, Aug 2023

The guide Kendra was knowledgeable and animated but gave absolutely NO direction to us when we were trying to use our props so we ended up just leaving. Needs to be more organized in order to make any sense.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We have interviewed three other guests on your tour. They told us they had a wonderful time and that Kendra was quite helpful in the use of the ghost hunting equipment.

Great time

FANTASIC NIGHT OUT

susan_t, July 2023

Marc was a really friendy, ghost story teller, with a few dry jokes included. it was a fantastic hands on experience, with the equiptment he brought us to try. Great for adults and teens. My 15yr who's face is constantly in his phone really had a good time. I would definitely recommend.

Not ghostly enough

Toni_C, July 2023

Marc was knowledgeable however too much history & not enough ghost stories. We thought ghost adventure it was more history lesson with ghosts tossed in. Sorry not a fan. There were 4 of us none enjoyed it!😑

Response from Host, July 2023

We're sorry you didn't feel our Ghost Hunt with Ghost Hunting Equipment merited our usual FIVE STAR REVIEW.

Awesome ghost tour!!!

Danielle_W, July 2023
