Doug (with a "g"), was an excellent guide. Very passionate and thoughtful. The information he gave was authentic and realistic. We got a true sense of the battle and how it had instantly impacted this little town - forever. We also went on the ghost search with Doug's colleague, Marc (with a "c") and were captivated by the experience. Overall a wonderful night that was rich with history and local charm. Highly recommend it.

Ghost Walk after 8:00pm for scavenger hunts
Sylphia_Y, Apr 2023
Listen to the stories of what have happened in these paranormal phenomena is kind of fun for a spooky evening. Thanks for all the information gathering with photos and voice taped, I really appreciated our guide have tried her best to share everything with the time limited trip. Our group didn’t encounter any ghost or spirit, but maybe just using my imagination to figure that maybe there are 2 or more faces showing on the shadow tree…
I respect the fact of what have happened in the history and wishing all spirits can rest peacefully.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for the kind words.
Disappointed
Renee_P, Apr 2023
The guide never showed up, had to wait in the rain and then cancel my tour after calling the company to get a refund
Response from Host, Apr 2023

Very knowledgeable guide and fun experience for us and our 11 year old son (although he was a bit disappointed to not see a ghost, he has demanded we come back and do actual ghost haunt)
Response from Host, Nov 2022
"fun experience for us and our 11 year old son" Thank you for another FIVE STAR REVIEW!
Informative but not spooky
jaclynn_m, Oct 2022
Was a little disappointed in the ghost aspect of the walk. Was more about history then haunt’s. Was still informative, but if your looking for spooky haunted walk this is not it.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Perhaps you were expecting a ghost hunt such as our Ghost Hunt with Equipment Provided. Call or
email us so we can comp you on a ghost hunt. 480-256-9313. customercare@ghostwalkusa.com
