As the sun sets across the city, your living tour guide will navigate the alleyways and streets, telling stories of those who walked before us – and still among us. This ghastly collection of stories passed on by locals throughout the years will leave you looking over your shoulder. Included in the tour is a behind-the-scenes trek through an area still haunted by previous tenants. For those who make it through the tour, you are the lucky ones who will live to tell the tales of Sanford’s ghostly residents.
