We'd bus from one historic cemetery to the next, getting off the bus and walking through the cemeteries, while our guide told us spooky "true" stories, with quite a bit of history thrown in. The guides enthusiasm was contagious! The guides, the driver, and even the ticket sales person were all in costume too. We took several bus tours in Boston, the haunted tour was the best!Laughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851640040050149219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27215371992378611952015-10-06T15:48:13.239+01:002015-10-06T15:48:13.239+01:00I love a ghost walk!

All money raised goes towards the Festival next year. It's only a small village, and the event was very small when it started several years ago. It has grown and is now quite popular. It gets bigger and better each year, a great achievement for a small village.

The history was entertaining but we were disappointed with how non-scary it was. It was more of a historical walk with a few lame ghost stories shoe-horned in. It was a laugh though and we got some funny pictures for the album.

We do have a few ghost walks or haunted walks here in Toronto and of course some are added during Halloween. I've never been - always meant to - so I've book marked a couple and will see if I can rustle up a few friends for next weekend. It will be Canadian Thanksgiving weekend so a Monday holiday and an ideal time to get folks together. We have a choice - the Distillery district - the University of Toronto - The Museum and general one taking in an old cemetery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-46381387466101276192015-10-04T00:02:16.684+01:002015-10-04T00:02:16.684+01:00We've been on a ghost walk at an old fort.
