The two night event, rain or shine, will be a howling good time for the entire family.
“Pender County is home to many ghost stories,” said Tammy Proctor, director of tourism. “We have ghost tales from the Gullah Geechee culture, the Civil War, and many more.”
Last year’s Ghost Walk: The Ghosts of Pender’s Past was a sell-out. Tickets for this year’s event are on sale now for both Friday night and Saturday night shows. Tickets are $10 per adult; $5 per student; and children ages 5 and under are admitted free with an adult.
This year’s Ghost Walk will begin at the Historic Train Depot. Tour guides will introduce eight ghost stories with actors, plus another grand finale in the county courthouse.
“We are not repeating the same ghost stories from last year,” said Proctor. “We have wonderful, haunting tales in Pender County.”
The Ghost Walk is the united effort of Moores Creek National Battlefield, the Historical Society of Topsail Island, Pender County Museum and Historical Society, Poplar Grove Plantation, Pender County Tourism, the Town of Burgaw, the NC Blueberry Festival, and the Pender Arts Council.
Tickets may be purchased from the tourism office at 106 E. Wilmington St. in Burgaw, or by telephone and credit card at 910-259-1278.
All proceeds will be divided between the Historical Society of Topsail Island, Pender County Museum and the Pender Arts Council.
