Haunted Ghost Lantern Tour Review

Published on Oct, 2024

The history of each place we stopped at was filled with an interesting story of why the ghost or spirit still haunts the places. The real love ghost hunt was super fun. She was very informative and fun. Well worth the money spent. We learned alot. The weather at night was so comfortable as well.

Fun and interactive tour. Desiree did an amazing job of telling TCs history and getting us to believe! We did take some pictures with some weird results!

Great fun!!!

Very entertaining tour. Dez was great, highly recommend for anyone interested in spooky stories with a bit of history.

Fun and informational

Published on Oct, 2024

A fun tour. Definitely recommend. In addition to the ghost/haunting stories our guide was knowledgeable about local history.

Fantastic tour that made our trip!!

Published on Sep, 2024

This tour was super fun and really pulled the whole trip together. It's basically a tour of the city with a very well qualified local historian, who happens to also be really into ghosts. Our tour guide Des has done her research and is a multi-generational local, and knows everything about the historical underpinnings of various macabre events said to have produced many ghost sightings. I also learned why those old theaters used to burn down so often! She was a terrific storyteller and spent time with every person on the tour. My 6-year old daughter joined us as well and had a great time, with no nightmares afterward. Des was very good with kids and kept her interested the entire time. By the way, the architecture in Traverse City is incredible. And some of these spots were very creepy after dark. I have to say, I remember the tour vividly even several weeks later. I'm still pretty creeped out. Great restaurants in that part of town as well so this was perfect after dinner.
