Mystery, History & Haunts Tour of Downtown Canton

Join us for the Mystery, History & Haunts Tour of Downtown Canton. This tour is being held after Monsterfest and we welcome anyone to attend, even if you are not attending Monsterfest.

We will meet right outside Canton Palace Theatre, on the sidewalk just to the left of the main entrance doors. You will see your guide outside with a lantern to check you in.

Note: This tour will end a little further down Market Street, right across from the Doubletree Hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Will we be going into buildings?

No. Tours will be outside. We will be walking a little over a mile downtown Canton and you will be learning about the history and lore of local buildings and areas.

Will I see any ghosts?

While we don’t have a contract with the spirits, oftentimes strange things may be caught on camera. If you happen to have ghost-hunting equipment, you are welcome to bring it on the tour.

Where do I park?

Please see: https://www.cantonchamber.org/parking-downtown

Also- street parking is free on weekdays after 5:00 pm and all weekends.

Can I take photos?

Yes, please do! Filming, however, is not permitted.

Is my guide a psychic?

No, but your guide has extensive experience researching history and folklore and has years of experience giving tours in New York and North Carolina. After moving back to her childhood home a few years ago, she realized downtown Canton was lacking a ghost tour, so she researched and created one.

Is this tour appropriate for children?

If your children are interested in history and folklore, yes. We will be talking about some grim subjects like murder and death, but there will not be any jump-scares, nor intended frights. The walk will be about 1.3 miles, so as long as they can keep up the pace and have an interest, absolutely.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?

There are some uneven sidewalks and a small set of steps. If you notify us in advance, we may be able to make modifications to alter the route slightly to accommodate you.

How long is the tour?

Approximately 90 minutes, but may go up to two hours, and 1.3 miles. Wear your comfortable shoes! Also there are NO public restrooms available until the end of the tour. Please plan accordingly.

What if it rains?

Tours go rain or shine. We will do our best to go out, unless there is a significant and severe storm. If there is severe weather, we will contact you via email ASAP to offer you another date.

TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
