The New Bern Historical Society presents the 33rd Annual GhostWalk, Oct 19 – 21, from 6-9:30p.

Visit 13 ghost sites in historic New Bern, where the ‘ghosts’ of New Bern tell stories from the town’s past in the 1920’s.

Family-friendly event. Guides lead you through stops in Cedar Grove Cemetery, to hear stories based on real historical characters and events.  The rest of the event is self-guided, with historical spirits telling tales on outdoor porches in downtown New Bern.  Downtown theaters provide skits, and local historic churches offer low-cost meals for GhostWalk visitors.
