I enjoyed learning new history about Wilmington and the guide, Phil, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the paranormal in the area. The tour was an easy walk through the historic city. The last stop in the graveyard was my favorite part of the tour.

Full description

Step back in time as you explore the historic Thalian Hall, a renowned theater that has stood witness to countless performances and events over the years. But beneath its elegant facade lies a dark past, with tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena that will send shivers down your spine. As you stand outside this iconic building, you will feel the weight of history pressing down on you, as if the spirits of the past are watching your every move.

The Cotton Exchange, once a bustling hub of commerce and trade, now stands as a silent reminder of the tragedies that have unfolded within its walls. As you walk past this historic landmark, you will hear whispers of the past echoing through the air, telling stories of lost souls and restless spirits that still roam the corridors to this day. The shadows cast by the setting sun will seem to dance around you, as if trying to warn you of the darkness that lurks within.

Stroll along the Wilmington Riverwalk, a picturesque promenade that offers stunning views of the Cape Fear River. But don't let the beauty of the scenery fool you, for beneath the tranquil surface lies a history of violence and despair. As you walk along the water's edge, you will feel a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the evening breeze, as the spirits of those who met untimely ends in these waters reach out to you from beyond the grave.

The stories of hauntings and paranormal activity that surround this establishment will leave you questioning whether you are truly alone, or if something otherworldly is watching you from the shadows. So, are you brave enough to embark on this chilling tour of Wilmington's haunted past?
