Haunted Trolley Tours

2024 Dates: October 17, 18, 19, 25, 26
October 17th Tour is an ADA Friendly Tour - Facilitated on ADA Bus

6 pm, 7 pm, 8 pm, and 9 pm

Join us if you dare aboard the Roman Rose Trolley as your docent from the dead spins harrowing tales of misfortune, death, and mayhem. Hear accounts of former residents who can still be seen in numerous locations around the city, continuing to live their lives as if we did not exist. You never know who is sitting with or standing beside you as the darkness of the night falls, for this is still their city, even in death.
The stories you’ll hear come from years of research, personal accounts, and real-life experiences. It’s the perfect combination of history mixed with haunted tales.
