Our haunted trips are all about the stories and the atmosphere. While you’ll visit real locations tied to eerie legends, many are best enjoyed from the outside — so bring your imagination! You’ll have a few short walks or hikes, plus several “drive-by” or photo-op stops where you’ll read the history in your booklet and picture the events for yourself.

Ghost sightings not guaranteed… but goosebumps possible.

Enjoyed my trip

Enjoyed this trip. Brought my dog. It was nice to have something that was dog friendly to do. The drive was very scenic and it brought me to places I wouldn't think or know to go to. The instructions and tips were very helpful. It's very well organized.

Two improvement opportunities - I thought the parking instructions for XXXXXXXX to get to the river walk unclear. It seemed to me that you could park there because the instructions said something about walking across the street from the bakery, but I found free parking right behind the bakery which is what I would suggest writing or stating that you can access parking to the river walk from the parking close to the dam (I don't recall the street name now) and then walking towards the tennis courts.
Suggestion 2 - In XXXXXXX, the vista view by the courthouse, in the instructions it says to take the trail and references the rail or bridge walk or something to that effect, but no where on the signs does it reference bridge or rail. While it's the only trail there, so it's obvious,it would be better if the name you provide matches the signage. I believe it's called the Vista trail - again something like that.

Thank you so much for leaving a review and providing your feedback. We'll be sure to look into your suggestions and update our booklets as required! We're so glad you enjoyed your road trip with your pup! :)

Pretty Interesting & Enjoyable, Just Not "Haunted"

This one was pretty good - but I found the "haunted" part rather lacking. Most of the stops were interesting, a couple were not so great. There were also a few cool spots we stopped en route (which I was surprised are not mentioned!)

Thank you so much for your review and feedback! We take great care in researching haunted stories and local legends about many of the locations on our spooky season road trips, so we hope you enjoyed reading these in your booklets along the way. We're always open to new destinations that might be a good fit for our road trips - feel free to email us at questions@guesswheretrips.com with any spots that you found en route and we'll see if we can fit them into the trip! :)
