Back to Nantucket Ghost Walk (The)
This guy, Bill, he was just awful. His delivery of his stories was drawn out and even he sounded bored with his own stories.When we asked questions about ghost hunting and ghost stories that were not associated with the ones we read in a book called "Nantucket Ghosts", which, by the way, his entire tour can be found in the book, he had no idea what to say and just avoided our questions altogether. He dressed with these rediculous knee-socks and didn't look creepy at all. The only reason we went with him was because my kids begged me to and we will NEVER do it again..

We expected a little more and were rather disappointed in this tour. It's basically a walk in the dark with an oral history of the tour guide's family along the way. He seems a nice enough guy but we didn't pay twenty dollars a head to hear anecdotes from a local resident. I really can't recommend this tour as a 'ghost' tour. Its nice to walk through town but you can do that for free.

We did the Nantucket Ghost Walk on Friday 10/24/2008. It took about an hour and a half and was entertaining. Having been in Nantucket all week, we got a little education on the different houses and streets, with tales of hauntings thrown in. A nice night and dinner plans for after the walk added to the enjoyment of the whole thing. We'd go again if we revisit Nantucket.

For years we had been doing ghost tours on Nantucket and for years we were disappointed until one man came along and stood at the top of main Street and wore a black top hat and cape. At first, when we saw him, we thought that he might be cheesy and strange, but found ourselves taking a chance one night.

I went on both tours as well, the ghost walk about two or three years ago and the Haunted Hike this year, and let me tell you what an improvement the Haunted hike is over the ghost walk. Not only does this guy, Will I think his name was, tell a great story, but he does it with such character and flamboyance that he kept my attention. The other guy never did that. he had no costume, no story other than that out of a book and talked like he was bored with what he was doing. After doing the Haunted Hike, I even bought a T-shirt! That was how impressed I was with it.
