Tips For Attending Haunted Walks And Ghost Tours For Halloween

- Carry a bottle of water, a power bank, a notebook and a pen if you wish to take notes, and a flashlight if your tour is at night.
- Be respectful! Listen to the stories and anecdotes by your tour guide intently and do not cause any damage to tangible property that you’re visiting.
- If you’re scared of going on a walking tour alone, request a friend or family member to accompany you. The tour will likely have many other participants, so you’ll not be alone anyways.
- Plan how you’ll reach the meeting point of the tour and your route back home in advance. If you’re visiting a new neighborhood, make sure you have information about the nearest railway or bus station, available transport services, and nearby restaurants.
