April was incredible funny and was able to engage everyone on the tour with the stories of Salem but with her jokes she was still able to make people get chills running down their spine she took into account the people on the tour she took into account their own questions and what they thought about the sights letting those who knew a lot about ghosts to have extra time to take pictures of extremely hunted places and aiding those who had never been on a ghost tour by giving tips and suggestions or giving more context all around an amazing tour
