Port Washington Ghost Walk

A ghost walk is a fun way to explore historic, paranormal Port Washington, WI.
Located only 30 minutes north of Milwaukee, Port Washington is a little bit of New England charm in Wisconsin. On your ghost walk, we share some spirited experiences we heard directly from residents themselves. 

The ghost walks take about 2 hours total. Since 2010, more than 1,200 people have joined the phantasmic  phun!

How it works... The Ghost Walk
On the ghost walk, you spend about 90 minutes trekking historic downtown Port Washington, hearing stories of paranormal experiences. Once you are fully regaled, we carpool to the cemetery where we will hear more stories. The cemetery portion takes 20-30 minutes and is quite creepy.

On the ghost walk+hunt, once you finish your tour of the highlights of downtown Port Washington, you go to your hunt location and spend a good amount of time exploring in depth.
How it works... The ghost walk+Hunt: cemetery
On the Cemetery Hunt, you start with a walk of the highlights of downtown Port Washington's ghost stories. Then we carpool to the cemetery. Once there, we teach you about and outfit you with ghost hunting equipment, split you up into groups of 3, and you spend time in 3 areas. The investigator at each  location will share the reports of activity and then you'll try to gather evidence. After a while, you're escorted to your next location and repeat the process. After we've worked all 3 locations, we gather your equipment back up, take it home and analyze it. If you captured anything, we'll share it with you.

Total tour time between downtown and the cemetery is 3+ hours.

This ghost walk+hunt is 100% outdoors. Read: It can get quite chilly by 1 or 2 am so hardy souls are going to love this option.
How it works... The ghost Walk+Hunt: Mystery downtown Location
The Hunt: Mystery Location is similar to the structure of the cemetery hunt except you're indoors and investigating 2 areas, taking a total of about 1 hour. Investigating an indoor location makes it easier to control the environment from outside noises (like traffic or wind) so gathering verifiable evidence is much more likely. You do go on a walk of downtown paranormal Port Washington before arriving at your Mystery Location but you do not go to the cemetery on this hunt.

Detailed instructions to help you prepare for your ghost walk or ghost walk+hunt are emailed to you after your tour purchase.
