Experience the Supernatural

Important Information

  • All tours originate from the back of Horne Square. Not only is there parking in the Square, but there is adjacent parking in the dirt lot next to it. Horne Square is adjacent to Manning's restaurant, and across from Flowers by the Neuse.

  • The tour is for entertainment purposes. We want you to have fun while enjoying some spooky stories and history of the town. We cannot guarantee you will see ghosts but more than one visitor to some of the places we will go to have claimed to have seen apparitions.

  • The ghost walk is approximately one mile in length, and crosses several streets as well as uneven terrain. It is also in the vicinity of a railroad track. As such, children must be well supervised by parents or responsible adults.

  • I would say that the stories shared are rated PG, and may not be suitable for all.

  • The trips are rain or shine, but may be postponed/refunded if there is severe weather. Severe weather would include lightning in the vicinity at the time of the walk. No refunds are available if you are unable to attend, or if you miss the tour time.

  • All participants must sign the terms and conditions at the time of purchase.

  • Included in the terms is a waiver where all participants accept any inherent risk associated with going on a walking tour

  • Please reserve your tour on the correct date and time that you wish.

  • If you are late, the ghost tour moves down First St. in the direction of Church St., before moving to Main St.

A person dressed as a ghost with a sheet over their head, standing inside a dimly lit telephone booth. The atmosphere is eerie, with minimal lighting highlighting the ghostly figure.
