The guide, Andrew, was very engaging with the guests. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy his job. Using the ghost hunting equipment was a lot of fun and we had many ghost responses. Highly recommend!

Great tour

Patricia_P, Jul 2026

Great tour, guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable! Tour hit all of the must see spots. Highly recommend.

Not what was expected at all...

Britney_M, Jul 2026

These are not house tours, these are basement tours. The basements are stacked full of supplies and boxes, with very little space to do a ghost hunt. It was definitely a waste of time and money.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Fun and unique evening out

barbara_p, Dec 2025

We arrived on time and met with Matthew. He was very polite and professional. First he showed: us the equipment that we would be using and then we walked over to Welty house( we actually went intothe gift store first) Anyway. We enter the cellar of Welty house where we learn the history and then to work trying to contact the spirits. We had a lot of activity and it was interesting. It’s a fun and unique night out. Would definitely do it again.
