New for Summer of 2020...
Visiting Port Washington this summer? We'd be happy to take your group out on a ghost walk! We don't have specific dates pre-set so just drop an email or give us a call and we can arrange for a ghost walk guide to take you out and tell the tales.
Ghost walks are 100% out of doors, however you will be gathering together to hear the stories. Our guides will be wearing masks and we'd appreciate you following all the responsible health and safety guidelines.
Email Susan or call 262-498-5777 if you have questions or would like to arrange for a walk.

About the Port Washington Ghost Walk
As we trek around historic downtown Port Washington, WI, we will stop at over a dozen places and share stories of hauntings reported there. The ghost stories that we tell are our own or have been shared with us by Port Washington residents - either their personal experiences or those related by friends and family.
No one wearing a rubber mask will be jumping out from behind a tombstone at you. Not that that's not fun! It's just not what this tour is about. This ghost walk is about the stories.
Caper Company has been leading the Halloween season Port Washington Ghost Walk since 2010. More than 1,200 people have enjoyed this bit of paranormal fun. After so many Halloweens, we've seen some things that we can't quite explain.
Please page down for much more info about going on the walk. Details will also be emailed to you after you purchase your tickets.
We hope you will join us.
Happy Haunts!

Meet: That's where we meet to start the walk. ----------
Carpool: That's our destination for the 2nd part of the ghost walk - Union Cemetery.
