Old City Jail Tour (Bulldog Tours): For a seriously spooky historical experience, a tour of the former Old City Jail is a must. It's known as one of the most haunted buildings in the city and is exclusive to one tour company.
Haunted Carriage Rides: An evening carriage ride offers a different perspective on the city's haunted history, often focusing on tales of ghosts and the supernatural in the historic district.
