Jerry is a Star

Jerry absolutely killed it! It ended up being just me and my friend on the tour, so he personalized it to us and brought us to exclusive places that he usually can’t bring big groups. He clearly has so many more stories to tell, I would take this tour again in a heartbeat. Probably the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on. Jerry is such a stud. #WomenInStem

This was a miss for us.

Sadly, this tour was a miss for our group. We were excited to take our family on a ghost tour, since my husband and I had been before, and really enjoyed it. The stories the guide shared were very, very long and basically based on digital photos from an iPad. We would have loved to hear more stories on the actual history of the various graveyards and ghost stories. There was nothing spooky or scary about the tour, and we were all relieved when it wrapped up. We've traveled a lot and take a lot of tours, and I write very few negative reviews, but this was a disappointment.
