These aren’t just places to grab a drink—they are woven into the ghost stories you’ll hear, each with its own haunted history and ghostly patrons. Though drinks are not included in the tour price, you’re encouraged to enjoy local craft beers, potent potions, or wicked cocktails to enhance the experience.
