Historic Haunts review

We loved this trip. It had the perfect blend of creepy places with the background story and not a lot of driving between stops. We did not try any of the restaurants suggested but did stop at a brewery-Farm League brewing which was a great addition to the trip.

Neat ideas lacking interactivity

We enjoyed our little road trip but were missing a little of the haunted parts. The stops were nice but really only quick spots to look at. We did most of the suggestions on the list and they were very cute, especially the bridge and the cemetery. We did it in the depth of winter on a Sunday and can’t fully recommend that time since the museum wasn’t open until later and the stores in town with a few suggested stops were closed. Nice little getaway, but would probably pick something more “interactive” next time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! Our haunted trips are definitely a little different from our usual road trips, as they rely more on the ghost stories written in the booklets, rather than exploring the stops themselves as they are often in use or abandoned. We hope you found a good ghost story or two to give you some chills!
