Ghost Tours of New Hope

New Hope history

Ghost Tours of New Hope walks Saturday, October 3 at 8 p.m., like every Saturday night from the first Saturday in June through the Saturday before Thanksgiving. October is the one month they add public tours on Friday nights, plus Halloween night, and they recommend showing up 30 to 45 minutes early. The tour meets at the corner of Main and Ferry Streets, next to the Parry Mansion, and leaves promptly at 8. No reservations needed: you buy tickets when you arrive, $15 a person. They do not take credit cards but do take Venmo. For a large group, or any October night, they'd appreciate a heads-up by phone or email. It is a walking tour, about an hour and roughly a mile, all outdoors (insurance keeps everyone out of the buildings), so wear comfortable shoes. Light rain or drizzle does not stop it. Thunderstorms, heavy downpours or snow can, and their Facebook page is where to check if the forecast looks questionable. The stories come from Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey, the author of "Ghosts in the Valley," who founded the tour in 1981 and researched and investigated every story herself. Nobody in costume jumps out at you. The walk is lantern-lit and the town does the rest. Pictures and paranormal gear are welcome. They call it fine for ages 10 and up, with the caveat that you know your own kid. Non-alcoholic drinks only. Check the forecast, get there early, and bring something other than a credit card.
