We went on the tour with Amelia- who told great stories about Harpers Ferry and the spirits who live there. It was a good 1.5 hour tour around the town. We took a bunch of pictures that had a ton of Orbs (spirits) in them. I highly recommend this tour!

I took this tour Saturday, March 30, 2013 and it was great. I was amazed by the pictures my teen age son and his friend took. They caught some freaky orb images in about 8 of their pictures. They would take pictures in rapid succession of the exact location, changing nothing--first 3 pics nothing, then a picture with an orb,... More

This is the second time we have taken this tour and we have enjoyed it immensely both times. The stories and history are nice to hear and both guides are fantastic story tellers. They both made my husband and I laugh and kept our attention. It's a great way to spend an evening in this wonderful little town.

Tour is loaded with harpers ferry history as well as ghost stories and Amelia presents it in a fun and memorable manner. I highly recommend this tour whether or not you are a ghost person.

My husband and I (both retired) and friends spent a wonderful afternoon taking a walking tour of Harpers Ferry with the same individual who leads the Ghost Tours. This tour began at 1:00 at the Church. Though the tour lasted over three hours, most of the time was spent sitting and listening to his engaging explanations of events leading up... More

This tour was a really great endcap to a full day of Civil War site tours (Monocacy, Antietam, Harpers Ferry). I'm not a person who takes the idea of ghosts very seriously, but I love a good story and Rick is an excellent story teller. I won't ruin his narratives by trying to tell you about them on here, just... More

Often ghost tours either take themselves too seriously or are too corny to be worthwhile. Rick has found the right balance between spooky and fun, and did a great job keeping everyone in the group entertained. The stories were well told and my pre-teens enjoyed it as much as my 18 year old son. While they did not have nightmares... More

The eldest in our group was 77 and the youngest was 3! We had a great time and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining! He even sang my mom a birthday song when the tour was over! Definitely would come back again!

The kids and I went on this tour as a spur of the moment adventure. This was our first ghost tour and we loved it. My daughter was a little too young (7 years old) to understand or appreciate and complained of being tired but my 10 year old son and I were entranced. Harpers Ferry at night is just... More

Some friends and I went for a tour in the off season. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. There were approximately 15 people in our group and we had no problem hearing her throughout the tour. The tour was almost half historical information and half spooky stories. I found the history fascinating and think that was... More
