Jolly tour re-ignites imaginations - Our spirited guide Des was raised and lives in the Traverse City area. Her local connections provide her with unique information sources that she uses to give historic tale-telling some extra flair. Des’s voice carries well and her lively presentation reflects her genuine interest in the stories that she tells. Although I sometimes lagged behind in my wheelchair, Des kindly waited for me to catch up and made me feel that I was a welcome part of the tour group, And about those spirits? Who knows? Maybe they like to keep us guessing!

Awesome Ghost Tour with family! - We took the ghost tour with our family: grandparents, aunt, parents and two kids (ages 7 and 9) and had a blast! Des is not only passionate about the supernatural, she adds a touch of humor to her ghost tales and did an awesome job including the kiddos in the tour. It was the perfect mix of spooky but not too scary. Highly recommend this tour for one and all! The kids ABSOLUTELY loved ghost hunting at the end of the tour with Des’ hunting equipment. 5 stars and would definitely do again!!! Thanks Des!!!

ghostly events - the stories especially like the home Of Perry Hannah and how he is still there. Liked all the stories and the history of why the ghosts were still inhabiting the sites they were seen in.
