For those that missed May's ghost walk through the streets of downtown Chatham, here's your next opportunity. Fans of the paranormal will soon be treated to stories of ghostly manifestations, as the Retro Suites Hotel presents Take a Walk on the Dark Side 3: The Ghost of David Frye. On June 25th, Participants will be taken on a new route in one of Chatham’s oldest neighbourhoods.
In addition to stories of murder and suicide, this year’s ghost walks will deal with family tragedy and the paranormal activity surrounding the Duchess of Wellington. “There’s no question this year’s highlight will be a visit inside Rick and Antja Bodneruk’s bed and breakfast,” said Ron Laroche, the Retro Suites Hotel’s Marketing Director. “The Duchess is said to be haunted by the spirit of a little boy, and the tour will touch on the circumstances surrounding his death.”
Historians Sheila Gibbs and Jim Gilbert will once again lead the tours, focusing on stories in the area of King, Cross, West and Wellington streets. The hour-long walking tours will start at 8 p.m., rain or shine, from the lobby of the Retro Suites Hotel, located at 2 King Street West. Admission is $10 per person and $5 for children 12 and under. Reservations can be made by contacting the hotel at 1-866-617-3876. Ghost walks will also take place on July 30 and August 27.
