Get Spooked at Ghost Tours of Lancaster and Strasburg
If you want to explore Lancaster County's back roads, Amish culture, covered bridges, culinary hot spots or historical homes – we've got a tour for that. But are you brave enough to discover Pennsylvania Dutch Country's creepy legends, mysterious lore and ghostly haunts? If so, then the Ghost Tours of Lancaster and Strasburg are for you! As we turn the corner toward Halloween, now's the perfect time to add a ghost tour to your fall getaway itinerary during your next stay at After Eight Bed and Breakfast.
Whether you’re a paranormal believer or a skeptic, a ghost tour is an entertaining and interactive way to learn about the dark side of Lancaster's history. The Lancaster and Strasburg ghost tours both provide a fun and frightening experience but in two different settings: an old city with stunning architecture or a quaint country town. Choose one or both tours to hear spine-tingling tales and learn the mysteries of the past. By candlelight and the light of the hazy moon, costumed guides lead a 90-minute walking tour that brings supernatural history to life...or should we say death.
The Ghost Tour of Lancaster departs from the Soldiers and Sailors monument in Penn Square. As you walk at a leisurely pace through downtown Lancaster, you'll explore the long-forgotten, mystical stories of one of America's oldest cities. Storytellers will share haunting tales of otherworldly vigils, fatal curses and star-crossed lovers. The Ghost Tour of Strasburg starts at the corner of Main and Decatur streets and uncovers the secrets hidden deep in Pennsylvania Dutch folklore. Travel on foot through this town lost in time to learn of its haunted mansions, eerie graveyards and spirits that roam the night.
A few tips for your ghost tour: Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Also, don’t forget your camera — you never know who might be lurking in the shadows! When you're done being spooked by the stories of long-departed souls, return to the safety of After Eight Bed and Breakfast and calm your fears in the comfort of our historic inn where we promise the only guests staying here are very much alive.
