Description

For nearly 200 years, the tiny borough of Girard, Pennsylvania has remained relatively unchanged in size and appearance, its Main Street still lined with many of the original structures built by early settlers in the 1840s. But beneath Girard’s quiet, quaint exterior lies a hotbed of paranormal activity, with the spirits of long-dead citizens still making appearances in our current century.

Join us this summer as this year’s ghost walks will focus exclusively on the spirits that inhabit this charming town. As we explore Girard’s hauntings, we will also learn its remarkable history, including stories of the incredible deeds of a secret network of law-breakers who harbored fugitive slaves as they made their way to Canada on the Underground Railroad.

Walks begin at 8 p.m. unless noted. Upcoming dates:

  • Sept. 17
  • Oct. 8 (The October 8th walk will take us through the Girard Cemetery! Tours are available at 7:00pm and 9:00pm. Please reserve early as this walk will sell out quickly. Contact host about where to meet.)
  • Oct. 15

Meet your guide at the corner of Main and Mechanic St., near the Civil War monument.

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED to allow us to limit group size to 25 people. Social distancing of 6 feet between parties will be required during the walk.
