Unseenpress Historic Ghost Walks and Tours

If I could give zero stars I would, I bought GroupOn tickets about 8 months ago for when my boyfriend and I visit Indiana. We got there and I called 4 days in advance to set up a reservation, and in 4 days I couldn’t reach anyone! Not through email or phone call. Very disappointing!

My family and I joined the Downtown Ghost tour on one of the most beautiful spring nights in recent history. The temperature was perfect and the dusk night was as scenic as it gets in central Indiana. Tons of folks enjoying a warm evening, coupled with local Prom, means the downtown area was hoppin’. I wasn’t disappointed to be downtown, just want to mention to folks that this is a walking tour — out in the middle of it all — and greatly affected by your environment. Our environment seemed to be in full-​on party mode.
Our tour guide seemed to be quite knowledgeable in this field, though the party did bring him down a bit. Quite a bit of work to broadcast all he wanted to relay to the 20 of us who would gather around. He did well in spite of it all. He brought along copies of news clippings and photos which helped both to paint the picture, and a bit to substantiate the historical information. I couldn’t really see the newspaper clippings as it was a tad dark. In hindsight I wish I’d brought my spectacles (for specter spectating? Lol.)
Even without my reading glasses, I looked around for ghosts, or spooky shadows, or the unexplainable floating orb during I tour. I personally saw nothing unexplainable. Maybe I didn’t see anything because ghosts don’t exist. Or maybe the beautiful weather and ‘party-​like’ atmosphere was just enough to distract me from noticing the shadowy, outreached hand brushing my shoulder as our group walked thru one of the darkened alleys. That’s just something you would have to decide on your own.
Bottom line: Good tour — runs 1:45 or so, and plenty of good information. A small flash light or the one on your phone will be sufficient, just enough to read and review the handouts when in those alleys. Otherwise, you’ll be right in the heart of downtown and plenty enough light to see everything you need to see. Just stay close to the guide so you can hear over the excitement of downtown… and pay attention in those alleys.
