CANTON GHOST TOUR FAQ

How much does it cost?
$18 online. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/canton-ghost-tour-tickets-396671313577
There may be an opportunity for some tickets to be sold onsite if we are not sold out at $20 each. Will we be going into buildings? Tours will be outside. We will be walking a little over a mile downtown Canton and you will be learning about the history and lore of local b

uildings. Will I see any ghosts? While we do not have a contract with the entities, often times orbs and strange shadows may be caught on camera. If you happen to have ghost-hunting equipment, you are welcome to bring that. Can I take photos? Filming, however, is not permitted. Is my guide a psychic? No, but your guide has extensive experience researching history and folklore and has years of experience giving tours in New York and North Carolina. After moving back to her childhood home, she realized downtown Canton was lacking a ghost tour, so she researched and created one. Is this tour appropriate for children? If your children are interested in history and folklore, yes. We recommend ages 13 and over. We will be talking about some grim subject matter like death and murder. The walk will be about 1.3 miles, so as long as they can keep up the pace and have an interest, they are welcome. Where do we meet? On 6th St. Northwest, across from the Palace Theatre. If you are facing the Palace, this is to the left of the theatre, across the street, right down from from the elephant statues, heading down 6th towards Court Ave. We will be ending at a local establishment just a couple blocks from where we started. How long is the tour? Approximately 90 minutes to two hours, and 1.3 miles

Is it wheelchair friendly? We have a few uneven sidewalks and a small set of stairs. If you notify us in advance we may be able to alter the route to accommodate you. What if it rains? Tours go rain or shine. We will do our best to go out, unless there is a significant and severe storm. If there is severe weather, we will contact you via email ASAP. Where do I park? Please see: https://www.cantonchamber.org/parking-downtown

Also- street parking is free on weekdays after 5:00 pm and all weekends

This past weekend Black Cat Tales & Tours attended the Professional Ghost Tour Guides meet up in Covington, GA. Very cool town, considered Hollywood of the South. Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Legacies, Dukes of Hazzard, In The Heat of the Night, and so many other productions were filmed here. We all had much fun networking, interesting history, and of course a ghost tour! Thank you, Ann, for providing a wonderful and educational weekend!

Interesting! Did anyone else know this?

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac: Last night, August 17th, the CAT NIGHTS began! A rather obscure old Irish legend said that a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times, but on the ninth time (August 17), she couldn't regain her human form. This bit of folklore also gives us the “nine lives” of cats.
