Like others have stated, you really shouldn't expect to see a ghost on this, or any other ghost tour, but I enjoyed it for the education it gave in the local history. Lot's of stories on the Revolutionary War and Civil War era. Enjoyable, and well worth the 90 minutes. We had a large group, our host stated it was... More
