Barnstable Village’s Haunted & History Walking Tour Fridays and Mondays Join founder, Derek Bartlett tonight, as your tour guide for Barnstable Village’s Ghost Hunters Tour at 7pm. He will bring you down The King’s Road and stop at locations such as The Barnstable House that has a nickname The House of 11 Ghosts, The Hedge House and many, many more locations. You will enter Cobb’s Hill Cemetery and listen to the stories and then be handed a digital voice recorder and he will teach you how to collect EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon/voices of the dead) where you then will walk the cemetery to try to capture evidence yourself. You will then be brought into The Oldest Wooden Jail in America, that is actively haunted. The village has over 6 children entities that haunt locations throughout our tour. This is a 3hr tour and about a 1 mile walk. Tour starts at the Coast Guard Heritage Museum 3353 Main St (Rt6A) Barnstable. If you would like more information or to reserve your spot call 508-241-1151

Academy Playhouse Haunted House in Orleans.
Oct 24, 2024 – Oct 27, 2024
Strange things are happening at the Playhouse. Frightening apparitions have emerged from the shadows, and the actors and employees are acting peculiar. Some say the Playhouse has come under some dark spell that is corrupting the very land it resides on. The good news is, that you have the opportunity to take a special VIP tour through the theater! We hope you survive the experience! Groups will enter every 10 to 15 minutes to go through a tour of the Academy unlike any other before.
