Tales, Spooks, and Rides from Old Town

Fans of nice spooky times and excellent story telling delight! During my two week visit to California the ghost tour was a highlight! The spooky stories told by, in my case, the excellent Antionette captivated me through the hour and a half tour. I paid a decent price for this at $50 but the theatrics and lovely ride made it worth it. My group was rather small which helped me feel like the storyteller was speaking to me directly at some points, and she was assisted by a friendly driver who had himself a very spooky doll named William I believe, who tends to be a bit mischievous. Overall a great time, enjoy the scares!
