The Retro Suites Hotel’s summer ghost walk series, Take a Walk on the Dark Side 2, will conclude later this month. The final paranormal tour of Chatham’s downtown streets is scheduled for Friday, August 21st.
Local historians Sheila Gibbs and Jim Gilbert have entertained approximately 150 people since May, with more than a dozen ghost stories about the Maple City. “It’s always fun to discuss what Chatham used to be like and the interesting people who lived here during that time,” said Gibbs, author of The Ghosts of Chatham-Kent. “It’s a different kind of history lesson too, something not often taught in a school setting.”
The walk on August 21st will be the last chance this summer to tour the historic Milner House at night, where ghost sightings are said to have occurred. It is also the final opportunity to receive complimentary tickets, as part of the hotel’s Ghost Walk package.
The walk will begin at 8 p.m., from the lobby of the Retro Suites Hotel, located at 2 King Street West. Tickets are $10 per person and $5 for children 12 and under. Tickets can be reserved by contacting the hotel at 1-866-617-3876.
