About

- Experiences shared directly by Port residents...
- Unexplainable things that have happened on ghost walks over the years... and
- Our personal experiences from investigations and the ghost walks we've led since 2010.
Watch for 2022 dates soon!

Parking and Gathering to Start Your Ghost Walk...
Starting downtown...
Then to Union Cemetery...
The map snippet above shows Union is a big rectangle. The street on the top (north) is Chestnut. You absolutely cannot miss the stone steps if you park on Chestnut.

Parking for the ghost walk: It's VERY IMPORTANT that you park in a lot near Dockside Deli located at 218 E Main Street, Port Washington, WI. After we walk around downtown, we all drive to the cemetery. If you don't have a car, you will miss the creepiest part of the ghost walk!
Getting to Union Cemetery from downtownThe way it's worked best for 12 years is everyone drives to Union Cemetery by following the leader - with the ghost tour guide in the first car.
If you get separated, you can still make it. Your GPS will direct you to the drive-in entrance on Keeny Street but don't drive in to the cemetery on Keeny Street. The ghost walk entrance is via the stone stairs on West Chestnut Street. 
Look for these steps on Chestnut Street

Parking:
Yes, we covered parking already, but we are repeating the instructions. WHY? Because it's VERY IMPORTANT that you park in right place for the start of the tour so that your car is nearby when it's time to drive to the next part. So, once more... Park in the lot near Dockside Deli (marked "Park Here" on the map) |
