The New Bern Historical Society presents the 36th Annual GhostWalk, Oct 22-24, from 6-9:30p.

Visit 13 ghost sites in historic New Bern, where the ‘ghosts’ of New Bern tell stories from the city’s 250 year history.

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.  Local historic churches offer a variety of low-cost meals for Ghostwalk visitors. Prepare yourself to see some special guests creeping through the cemetery during your visit. Watch for something ‘thrilling’ at the New Bern Academy Green. And keep your eyes open for special apparitions like the Veri-Good Bakery.
