So fun and so spooky. Perfect combo.
That's exactly the sweet spot we were hoping to capture, equal parts fun and spine-tingling!
The alleyway stories are the best part. Something about hearing them in the dark is just different.
Chris BarlowTotally agree. Heard one of those same stories during the day once and it did nothing for me. At night it's a whole other thing.
Wore the wrong shoes last time and regretted it the whole walk. Wear sneakers people.
Ghost stuff is not really my thing but even I have to admit Doylestown has interesting history.
My grandmother used to talk about some of those old houses. She would have loved this tour.
The craft beverage part before the tour is key. Just trust me on that one.
Rob CallahanHa, noted. Which spot did you stop at? We're going next Friday and I need to plan accordingly.
Okay I said I was not going to be scared and then I absolutely was scared.
Nice to see they updated the route. The old one was getting a little repetitive.
The guides have worked to weave in new points of interest reflecting the town's ongoing development, so returning visitors should find fresh surprises alongside the classic stops.
Went with a big group and we all had such a good time. Highly recommend doing it with friends.
Amanda W.Good to know. I was thinking of going solo but maybe I'll round up a few people first. More fun that way probably.
Doing it with a group is absolutely the way to go, as the article suggests, gathering some friends makes every shadowy alleyway that much more memorable.
The part about the public buildings with unexplained events sounds really interesting. Which ones?
Tony RicciI think the old courthouse comes up on the tour. Not going to spoil it but the guide mentioned some pretty wild stuff that happened there.
Grabbed tickets last minute last year and almost missed out. Book early people.
Do they do this year round or just in October? Asking for a friend lol
Autumn evenings in Doylestown are already magical. Add ghost stories and I am sold.
Autumn dusk in Doylestown is practically made for this, the atmosphere alone does half the storytelling before the guide even speaks.
Natalie G.Right? The leaves, the cool air, and then someone telling you a ghost story around the corner from where you grew up. Hard to beat that.
Skeptic here but the history part alone makes it interesting. Not just ghost nonsense.
You're in good company, the Doylestown Historical Society's involvement ensures every stop is grounded in authentic local history, so there's plenty of substance beyond the spooky atmosphere.
Been in Doylestown 30 years and still got surprised. Loved every minute.
That's perhaps the most telling detail of all, even 30-year residents are walking away with stories they never knew, which says a lot about how deep Doylestown's history really runs.
Just moved here a few months ago and this looks like a cool way to learn the town history.
The footsteps story about that house on the east side gave me chills.
Sue Ellen R.Oh which house is that? I live on that side of town and now I'm going to be thinking about this every night.
My kids are obsessed with this stuff. Perfect fall activity honestly.
I live two blocks from the route and still learned things I never knew. Wild.
Ghost tours are cheesy but I had a blast doing this one. Good times.
What restaurants are nearby? Want to make a whole night of it.
The article notes that a growing number of new restaurants near the town center make it easy to turn the tour into a full evening out, we'd suggest checking what's open along the downtown stretch before your visit.
Went with my wife and she screamed at literally every stop lol
The Historical Society does such good work keeping these old stories alive.
Linda FarroThey really do. A lot of that stuff would just disappear otherwise. Nobody writes it down and then one day the people who remember are gone.
Never knew half those stories about the buildings downtown. Kind of creepy honestly.
greg_doylestownSame! I grew up here and had no idea about some of those. Makes you look at the old buildings completely differently when you walk past them.
That's the magic of it, those charming façades really do hide some surprisingly eerie histories that most people walk past every day without a second thought.
Did this last October and it was so worth it. Highly recommend!
