Participants on the tours have experienced a variety of personal hauntings while on these daily and nightly expeditions throughout the French Quarter. For example, quite often time pieces stop working and camera equipment fails to function at one particular spot. Another location has spawned severa fainting spells during the guide’s rendition of a sparticularly horrific tale of man’s inhumanity to man. Additionally, “cold spots” are abundant and many people actually hear, feel, and see entities and apparitions while on the tour.

“This is not a Halloween spook house,” Smith often tells guests on the tour. “Some people are simply more sensitive to paranormal activity than others.”

For instance, he recently heard a story from a woman on his tour about a man she met at French Quarter hotel. He was on the adjoining balcony to her room. “She talked to him for a while and enjoyed his company, ” said Smith. “When she went downstairs and inquired who was occupying the room, she was told it was empty.”

Compiled from The Cadies & Witchery Tours

The Witchery Tours take a light-heated look at Edinburgh’s darker side including tales of witchcraft, plague, body-snatching and torture.

Your ghostly guide through the dark alleyways and eerie courtyards is none other than Adam Lyal, Highwayman, executed for his crimes in the Grassmarket on March 27th 1811.

Written by Carol Nesbitt

Over the years since the Civil War battle in 1863, stories of scores of sightings, stranger than reality, have emerged from the quaint houses and gentle fields in and around the town of Gettysburg, PA: Stories of sightings of these soldiers, moving again in battle lines, across the fields where they once marched. . . and died; tales of visions through a rip in time into the horrible scene of a Civil War hospital; whispers of a look at men long dead held eternally captive by duty. These apparitions and more come back to remind us, in one way or another that they are not to be forgotten for what they did here. . .

In 1994, Mark Nesbitt started the first ghost walk in Gettysburg, The Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours (registered trademark). Armed with tales from his Ghosts of Gettysburg book series - and with a few that aren’t in the books - guides dressed in Civil War period attire take visitors on evening tours through sections of town that were bloody battlefields 13 decades ago; through night-darkened streets to houses and buildings where it’s not as quiet as it should be; to sites on the old Pennsylvania College campus where the slain once lay in rows, and the wounded suffered horribly, waiting to become corpses themselves; to cemeteries where the dead lie. . . sometimes not so peacefully.

Fells Point Ghost Tours was named Best Tour, City Paper’s Best of Baltimore, 2003 & 2002. Ranked #2 ghost tour nationwide by DigitalCity.com, 2003.

Make a Day of it in One of Baltimore’s Most Interesting Neighborhoods - Follow the brick promenade east past the skyscrapers that overlook Baltimore’s famous Inner Harbor and you’ll suddenly find yourself in an 18th century maritime village known as Fell’s Point. It’s easy to imagine the neighborhood bustling with sailors, immigrants, and ladies of the night calling out of windows to passers-by and walking in and out of the boarding houses and taverns that lined the streets. Beneath you, paving the quaint narrow streets of the neighborhood, is the Belgian block that arrived in Fell’s Point as ballast for cargo ships returning from Europe over 100 years ago. Before you are the Federal and Victorian style rowhomes where dashing captains-turned-privateers and ship carpenters lived side by side.
