About this Article

When most people think of local ghost tours, they picture crowds piling in and out of tour busses or following storytelling guides on foot. But nowadays spectral-seeking groups can also choose from ghost tours on bikes, boats and high-tech Segways. There's even a special tour where you can bring along your dressed-up dog. Many dedicated ghost tours plan special options in October, while other sightseeing tours add some Halloween flavor.
