Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day with a self-guided haunted walk. We've recommended a handful of our favourite spooky spots in a historic small town. Drive time to the second stop is 15 minutes

STOP 2

Have you ever felt like you were a bit psychic and connected to the other side? You might just fit in at this destination. Drive time to the third stop is 25 minutes.

STOP 3

The ruins of a 19th century mill and ghosts tend to go hand-in-hand. Wander around and you just might find someone lurking behind the crumbling walls. Drive time to the fourth stop is 10 minutes.

STOP 4

End the day in a less spooky way. Dig your toes in the sand at a nearby beach or grab a bite to eat before heading home.

The Most Fun I’ve had in a Long Time

This trip was so much fun! I love the surprise aspect of not knowing where you’re going next until right before. It really felt like we were on a vacation for the day. We already want to go back to some of the stops again because there was so much to see and do! We brought our toddler along and were still able to do most of the activities. Highly recommend!
