What To Expect On A Ghost Tour

Dianna O’Grady of Essential Wisdom leads visitors on a walk through the downtown area where you will experience the past and the present come alive! She will tell you stories of ghostly apparitions, shadow figures, and orbs, as experienced by local business owners, local residents, and paranormal investigators.

Her tours have grown in popularity due to the actual unexplained experiences tour participants report, as well as the ghostly images captured on camera throughout the tours! If you’re brave enough, click here to view photos and read accounts from past tour-goers.

Spirit Sightings

One of Dianna’s favorite tour memories is from a night in 2014. She says, “There was a group of about 20 people taking photos into the alley, and I can attest to the fact that there was no one standing in the alley! This one still gives me chills!”
