You'll hear the stories of those hit by the trains and the flying monkeys on top of the train station. This old house holds a historic story of the city and a tragic past that leaves it spookily haunted. You'll hear the story of the oldest church and one of the oldest buildings and then be guided to HH Holmes's house he rented when he was on the run. It ends up very lost to Church Street and downtown. The historic theater has seen many changes over the years and a few tragedies. You'll hear those stories and the ghosts that haunt it. This is an iconic venue where Phish got their start. And it's been rocking for years. Hear the story of the venue, the food, and the ghosts that haunt it. On one of the most charming walking streets, you'll find a history as dark as the night. Hear the stories of the firehouse and haunted restaurants.
