HISTORIC GHOST TOURS OF AURORA ANNOUNCES 2011 HALLOWEEN TOUR SCHEDULE  

On the Historic Ghost Tours of Aurora downtown ghost walk you will shudder to learn the authentic local history of whispering phantoms, dark entities, bloody murders, and eternally lost souls.  Hear the uncanny, unnerving true events that occurred right at that very spot.   Feel the corpse cold fingers of fear slither down your spine as your EMF “Ghost Meter” in your hand suddenly flashes a warning of an invisible presence materializing silently before you.  Will you dare journey to Aurora’s most haunted places at night?
