Hear Ghostly Tales on Lincoln’s Ghost Walk: Legends and Lore

During our visit to Springfield, Illinois, we took the tour, Lincoln’s Ghost Walk: Legends and Lore. This attraction was not sponsored, but our visit to Springfield was sponsored by Visit Springfield, and we were hosted at other area attractions. Incidentally, we received a coupon book from Visit Springfield, and we used a coupon for this tour. I highly recommend stopping by their downtown office. In fact, this tour starts at the statue right in front of the Visit Springfield office. Here is the address: 1 S. Old State Capitol Plaza. Now let the tour begin! Meeting Up for Lincoln’s Ghost Walk We really weren’t sure what to expect. We followed the instructions in the brochure provided by Visit Springfield and saw that the meeting place was at this statue of the Lincolns in front of the Visitor’s Center. You can see the Visitor’s Center in the background. There didn’t seem…

The Crescent Hotel: America’s Most Haunted

We’d like to thank the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce and the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa for our two-night complimentary stay and ghost tour. As always, all opinions are honest and my own.

And no other hotel in Eureka Springs fits the bill better than the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, more commonly known as The Crescent Hotel.

Take a Ghost Tour in San Diego with Ghosts and Gravestones

We’d like to thank Historic Tours of America for free tickets to our recent visit to Ghosts and Gravestones Ghost Tour in San Diego. As usual, all opinions are honest and my own. If you’ve followed my family’s adventures for a while, you’d know that we love to take a ghost tour when we travel. It’s a great way to learn some history of the area with a spooky twist. And if you travel in the summertime, it’s a great way to get some touring in when the temperatures are cooler. When we began planning a trip to San Diego, I knew I wanted to see the Whaley House, known for its paranormal activity. What better way to see it than at night as part of the Ghosts and Gravestones tour? Before Your Ghosts and Gravestones Tour in San Diego We arrived early in the day, and after a morning…

Battlefields, Ghosts, and Nachos: A Family Experience in Gettysburg

Things to Do in Gettysburg Gettysburg is just one of those great historic places that we’ve been wanting to experience for a long time. We wanted, of course, to learn more about the battle, but we also wanted to make some family memories together. It’s important for my daughter to learn about the events that shaped our nation, even if she is only seven-years-old. Though the events in Gettysburg were tragic, I wanted her to have a basic understanding of what happened along with doing some family-friendly activities. We spent four nights in Gettysburg, but I think you could easily do a shorter trip or spend more time here. We spent most of our evenings watching the sunset over the battlefield. Here are our recommendations after experiencing Gettysburg. Take a Tour of the Battlefield We took a tour with the Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides, and it was fantastic! This…

A Ghostly Tour: Ghosts and Gravestones–Savannah

Since we often take trips in the summer, we try to avoid too much outdoor activity during the heat of the day. One thing we’ve learned is that ghost tours can be a great way to see the sites while staying as cool as possible. We are especially fans of ghost tours that use transportation. We discovered Ghosts and Gravestones on one of our St. Augustine trips, so when we saw the tours were also available in Savannah, we couldn’t wait to try one. A ghost tour in Savannah seemed perfect! One thing you should realize about these tours is that they are not the kind of experience where you get all kinds of gadgets to test for a ghost’s presence. These tours mostly involve traveling to different areas of the city while hearing ghost stories. You get a great overview of the city while your host tells you about…
