Here's a glimpse at last year's Ghostwalk:
"GRAVES' ANATOMY"
Thursday thru Saturday, October 25 - 27, 2018
Ghostwalk is a family-friendly event that combines historic spirits, talented local volunteer actors, historic sites not normally open to the public, and a fun-filled, creative environment. It is NOT a haunted house!
Ghostwalk is a self-guided event that allows you to step into New Bern's past. Meet spirits at 13 different historic ghost haunts including homes and theatres. Enjoy the ghostly actors who will share their spirited stories in the very locations that their characters lived and visited. Your ticket is good for all three nights and contains your map with ghost sites and food sites for you to enjoy in any order you like.
