OUR MEETING LAST WEEK

John Tucker presented an overview of his now famous Salisbury Ghost Walk, a guided tour through historic downtown Salisbury known for its rich history and haunted sites. During the walk, visitors are taken to various locations in a four-block radius where eerie stories, legends, and ghost sightings have been reported. The tour typically takes 90 minutes includes stops at haunted buildings, alleyways, and landmarks, where guides recount tales of spirits and mysterious events tied to Salisbury’s past.
 
 
With a mix of historical facts and spooky folklore, the ghost walk offers a unique way to explore Salisbury’s heritage, especially appealing to fans of the paranormal and those interested in local history. Tours are scheduled from February to October, but a private tour can be scheduled anytime.
