A bit disappointing...Lackluster Ghost Stories
The tour started on time and lasted one hour, as stated. The guide's lantern battery died even before the tour started, which wasn't a deal breaker, but would have been a nice touch to the tour. The tour guided ended each stop with a song, as an ode to a tour guide that he once had who ended each site with a quote. It wasn't my favorite ghost tour for the following reasons: The stories were neither scary nor very interesting. The tour guide, Jimmy, did try his best, but the stories did not captivate me. When we stopped at the Peyton Randolph house, it was obvious that someone was inside and had lighted a lantern, which was a bit of a disappointment. In addition, when we stopped at the church, there was an event taking place that overshadowed the ghost story. Finally, there was a tour of school children that were housed on the steps of the courthouse during this portion of the tour- so needless to say the tour was distracting and interrupted by others and the stories were just so, so. Again, not my favorite ghost story tour. A bit of a disappointment.
