This Saturday, Uncover Real-Life Chills, Forgotten Roads, and Haunted History

With spooky season upon us, our city’s real history is far scarier than any fictional ghost story.

Join local historian and author Heather Leah on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, for a spine-tingling journey through the eerie legends of Downtown Raleigh. This isn’t your average ghost walk; you will board a trolley and explore cemeteries with unmarked graves, haunted Victorian mansions, and the abandoned remains of lost neighborhoods. Because these tales are rooted in real-life history that has been passed down through generations, the experience packs a genuinely frightening punch.

The tour departs from Tap Yard Raleigh, but you won’t just be safely looking out the window. Be prepared to step off the trolley at some of the city’s most haunted hotspots to get a closer look. The tours run every weekend in October, making it the perfect way to welcome the Halloween spirit.

📍 Tap Yard Raleigh – 1610 Automotive Way, Raleigh
📅 Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026 | 7 p.m.
💰 Tickets Required: From $27

Keep your wits about you when you step out into the dark. You might just end up bringing an uninvited guest back to the beer garden!
