My desired tour date is grayed out, what do I do?
If your desired day is grayed out it means a tour is not being offered on that day or it is sold out. Sorry! :(. Also note, that booking are only allowed a month in advance so your future date may be greyed out at the moment but a tour may be conducted on that due. If you day is greyed out please check back in the near future to see if a tour is being offered on that day.
-
Can my teen attend the tour unaccompanied?
Unfortunately, no. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
-
Are your tours handicap accessible?
Our tours are handicap accessible, however please be aware that many of the streets and sidewalks in our beautiful city are old and haven’t been paved in some time. So please be cautious and aware. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide wheelchairs or other mobile devices, but you may want to bring your own or contact Clinicare Home Medical at 850-570-5555 who may be able to rent you one. We are not affiliated with them in any way but wanted to provide an option for you in case you were interested, and we also accept no liability in dealings with them or any accidents involving their rental.
-
Do you or can you offer an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter for your tour(s)?
Unfortunately, we are not able to hire an ASL interpreter to accompany you on our tour because to do so is cost prohibitive for our small business, creating an undue financial burden. Although there are no ASL interpreters for hire in Franklin County to our knowledge at this time, you may want to reach out to providers in Tallahassee or Panama City. If you so desire to hire an interpreter to accompany you on the tour, you are welcome to do so at your own expense, and the ticket price for an interpreter will be waived. As another accommodation, we are happy to provide you with an auxiliary aid of a written script of the tour. Please make your request in advance with a minimum of 48 hours notice. That script must be returned to the guide at the end of the tour and may not be copied or photographed. Also, please be aware that certain portions of our tour are not scripted (ghost hunting and interacting with guests and answering their questions), so we would not be able to provide you with a written script for those portions as they are unpredictable. Other portions of the tour may also be unscripted and also cannot be provided in a written format.
-
How do your tours differ from other ghost tours
We are the only ghost tour on the Forgotten Coast. We differ from other ghost tours in other cities in that our guides dress is costume portraying a ghost from the town’s past. They are your “ghostly guide” for the evening. Also, all of our tours include some form of ghost hunting using real ghost hunting equipment. That is typically not offered on regular ghost tours in cities like New Orleans and Salem, MA.
