About this Event
Join us for a GHOST TOUR, where you will learn about the Mystery, History & Haunts of Downtown Canton.
We will meet right outside the Doubletree, on the sidewalk just to the left of the main entrance doors. You will see your guide outside with a lantern to check you in. You do NOT have to print your tickets, just provide your name and confirmation on your phone.
Note: This tour will end very close to where we started, but not at the exact location.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will we be going into buildings?
No. Tours will be outside. We will be walking a little over a mile downtown Canton and you will be learning about the history and lore of local buildings and areas.
Will I see any ghosts?
While we don’t have a contract with the spirits, oftentimes strange things may be caught on camera. If you happen to have ghost-hunting equipment, you are welcome to bring it on the tour.
Where do I park?
Please see: https://www.cantonchamber.org/parking-downtown
Also- street parking is free on weekdays after 5:00 pm and all weekends.
Can I take photos?
Yes, please do! Filming, however, is not permitted.
Is my guide a psychic?
No, but your guide has extensive experience researching history and folklore and has years of experience giving tours in New York and North Carolina. After moving back to her childhood home a few years ago, she realized downtown Canton was lacking a ghost tour, so she researched and created one. This is our fourth season in Canton.
Is this tour appropriate for children?
If your children are interested in history and folklore, yes. We will be talking about some grim subjects like M**der and death, but there will not be any jump-scares, nor intended frights. The walk will be about 1.3 miles, so as long as they can keep up the pace and have an interest, absolutely.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
There are some uneven sidewalks and a small set of steps. If you notify us in advance, we may be able to make modifications to alter the route slightly to accommodate you.
How long is the tour?
Approximately 90 minutes, but may go up to two hours, and 1.3 miles. Wear your comfortable shoes! Also there are NO public restrooms available until the end of the tour. Please plan accordingly.
What if it rains?
Tours go rain or shine. We will do our best to go out, unless there is a significant and severe storm. If there is severe weather, we will contact you via email ASAP to offer you a refund (only if we cancel the tour) or to offer you another date.
TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
