Ghastly goings on

Residents will not have to travel far to get their fill of haunted houses, monsters, gruesome murders, paranormal anomalies and macabre historical oddities.

Once again, Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the 2nd will lead people through downtown Vernon with stories of ghastly goings on during the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives Ghost Tours event.

Newman, a professional storyteller and performer, created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history.

"You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region," said Newman.

Starting from the steps between the Vernon Museum, 3009-32nd Ave., and the former library, the tour will run every night from July 24-30 beginning at 9 p.m.

It is an outdoor walking tour that runs rain or shine so participants are encouraged to dress appropriately. The tour will run approximately one hour and 21 minutes. 
Tickets are $10 for ages 13 and up, and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only).

No reservations are necessary.
