What To Expect On A Ghost Tour

Dianna O’Grady of Essential Wisdom will lead you 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 was from a night in 2014. She accounts, “I was on the last tour of the evening with six girls all in their twenties. It was a very cold, evening and our group was the only people out in the downtown area. We stopped outside of Sunny J’s, and one of the girls took a photo into the store window.”

“When she pulled her phone back to look at the photo, she screamed, threw her phone to her friend and left the tour. Where her refection should have been, was a reflection of a man. Next to her friend’s reflection was a tall, ghostly apparition of a male spirit” she says.
