I was really looking forward to this ghost tour, as I try to do one in every US city I visit. Unfortunately, this was a huge let down. We did not actually go to any haunted locations, the tour guide just told us about locations far away from various street corners. And almost every "ghost story" was just some minor paranormal activity that happened to "Beth" - an employee of the tour company, I think? The one time we were pointed to a blood stain it was inside a building that was shut down and we could only peer through a window to try to get a glimpse.

Read moreIf you're in to Poe conspiracy theories, ask for Olivia!!! She was a treasure trove of interesting information! My 9yo was so engaged and you should of heard the questions he was asking!!!

We had dinner just around the corner at the Proper Pie beforehand, which made for a really great family evening!!! Would highly recommend!!! Just FYI, there's no sign at the meet up location. We met them in front of Richbrau Brewery. If you go the the bottom of the hill on 20th St, there's a fenced-in lot for the Holocaust Museum that you can park in!! Hope you see some...
