2016 Hauntings in History Walking Tours 

Are you brave enough?

If you are brave enough to explore the darker side of New Castle Delaware's history, then join the New Castle Historical Society this October for the only ghost tour that brings you inside one of the most haunted mansions of Old New Castle!  On your journey, you'll explore New Castle's supernatural side with a tour of the legendary Amstel House - one of New Castle's most haunted houses - where you may meet the "Woman in Blue."  You will be also guided through New Castle's darkened streets and alleyways where you will hear macabre tales of hauntings, Victorian death & funeral customs, and crime & punishment that span the 360-year history of this Delaware River town.   

Tours are approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes and will depart from THE ARSENAL.  The majority of the tour is walking outdoors, so please dress appropriately for fall weather and wear comfortable footwear.  Feel free to bring a flashlight.  This is a prepaid event and tickets must be purchased in advance.  Space and dates are limited and these tours will sell out!
