Two-hour Twilight Exterior Walking Tour

Take a spooky walk through the Kleinhans neighborhood and see the sites where ghostly tales have been passed down for generations... you will be led on the tour by a guide (with a candle-lantern to light the way) who will show you the macabre sites. See where there was once a cemetery - now abandoned, yet some bodies still remain... see where the ghosts of the old Fargo mansion are said to still roam... hear tales of angered ghosts who seek vengeance against those who defiled their graves… and of the War of 1812 soldier who roams the neighborhood looking for his stolen skull... and many more! The old houses of the Kleinhans neighborhood have seen many funerals cross through their “casket doors,” and at dusk the houses take on a haunted ambiance. Be sure to bring a flashlight and your courage... being so close to Halloween and El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), who knows if one of the ghosts will make an appearance!
