The spirits of the Olde Towne Civic League have been putting on our spook-tacular Ghost Walk for over 30 years. This year’s Ghost Walk is on Friday, October 24, 2014, with tours leaving at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. from Trinity Church graveyard.
 |
Guides carrying dim-lit lanterns will escort you through the
brick-covered walkways of historic Olde Towne Portsmouth. |
The walk begins in the Graveyard of historic Trinity Church, where you will start your ghoulish journey by learning about real horror stories from Olde Towne Portsmouth's past. You are then swept away to the front steps of Portsmouth's old Court House where you will be transported back in time to the age of Jack the ripper, the Victorian era. A guide, carrying dim-lit lanterns will then escort you through the brick-covered walkways of historic Olde Towne.

| The ghost of Portsmouth's founder, Colonel William Crawford. |
There, you and your guests will need to decide a direction to follow. Each route offers eight stories from our sometimes troubling past reenacted by performers upon the antique porches of our authentic period homes. As we say here in Olde Towne...you can't make these stories up (or something close to that) and believe you me, the more outrageous the story the closer to the truth it gets!

You will be transported back in time to the
age of Jack the ripper, the Victorian era. |
Once your tour is complete, your attendant will take you to Cider Park located on Middle Street where a cauldron of hot witches brew, a concoction similar to apple cider is served to help shake off the the old cobwebs! Relax and enjoy featured music and meet the giant tree man...We Are Groot!! For more information, visit their website at:
