The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is thrilled to announce that the Ghost Tours of Vernon is back for its 12th year of spine-tingling tales.
Join your host, Mr. Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the 2nd, as he tours you through downtown Vernon and entertains you with stories of haunted houses, monsters, gruesome murders, paranormal anomalies and macabre historical oddities.
Newman, a professional storyteller and performer, created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history.
“You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region,” said Newman.
If you have never gone, or haven’t gone in a while, you have one week before the Ghost Tours disappear into the darkness again.
Starting, as always, from the steps between the Vernon Museum and the former library, the tour will run every night from Aug. 16 to 22 beginning at 9 p.m. As it is an outdoor walking tour that runs rain or shine, please dress appropriately. The tour will run approximately one hour and 21 minutes. Ticket price is $10 for ages 13 and up and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only).
No reservations are necessary unless you want to book a private tour for 20 or more. Contact Newman, Paranormal Expert, Entrepreneur, and Purveyor of Medicinal Remedies, at 250-260-8757, ghosttours@shaw.ca or visit www.ghosttoursofvernon.com.
