Ghost Walks are a great way to celebrate Halloween is with a family Ghost Walk. Take an eerie walk back into Olde Oakville of the 1850`s. Be guided by a character from the past who could be a mayor, merchant, ship captain or a Chisholm relative. Each ghost leader shares his or her life and you may meet other ghosts along the way. Interact with the spirits.
Rain adds to the eerie atmosphere. If thunder is heard the walk is cancelled.
Walks require the ability to walk or travel about 12 blocks.
Walks are conducted in English. Other language groups with their own interpreter, may book as a group of 10 to 15. In comments, provide name and contact details of the language interpreter. We do have a French Ghost Leader to lead a few French group walks. This must be booked well in advance and mention "French Group Booking". The Advance List form above may be used.
