Bellefonte.com and Local Historia are offering a traditional walking ghost tour the evening of Saturday, October 30th, (dearly) departing from Black Diamond Barber Parlor – and the folks at Black Diamond might have a trick or two up their sleeve.

What can you expect from a Ghost Tour? Itall be a mixture of stories that range from crimes of centuries past, executions, paranormal activity, and other unexplained mysteries. Public historian Matt Maris describes it as full of aauthentic bone-chilling stories that entertain and sometimes disturb.a

You might be thinking: Why Bellefonte? Is it an especially haunted placed?? Well, Bellefonte is right smack dab in the middle of Pennas Woods (aka Pennsylvania), a perfect place for a haunting, plus itas an old governoras town, so you know there are a lot of stories of past wrongs and people who are out to revenge them (even beyond the grave.) Matt notes, aOur geography and rich history makes Bellefonte an ideal setting for these kind of things.a

Local Historia is all about curating memorable historical experiences, and this Ghost Tour is no different. Matt calls it a afun and unexpected way to learn local history as well.a Most of the year we don’t want to think about these dark corners of our minds, but Halloween is the perfect time to consider them, especially in this fun, scary atmosphere.

But do the people giving these tours ever get scared? Bellefonte.com asked Matt what the spookiest thing heas ever seen on a Ghost Tour:

aI had a guest on a tour feel such a strong presence at a site that she was not able to approach it with the group. The look on her face said it all. That and once a black Labrador gave me a good scare by sneaking up on me while I was telling a story. Iall get goose bumps when the stories are told correctly that remind me that thereas something to these stories and somethings out there.a

If youave taken a Ghost Tour with Local Historia before, you know how much fun they can be, and Matt assures us that they have some new stories theyave sourced along with some of the classics. Matt also encourages anyone who attends to wear their Halloween costume. After all, we canat just let the ghosts have all the creepy fun.
