  Caroline Cook leads a walking tour of  Haunted Heritage Hill homes. The stately homes of Heritage Hill may reflect the grace of another era but because these home were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, ghost stories abound. Some of the accounts are scary, some silly, some believable, some not. We will explore this beautiful neighborhood while Caroline tells spooky tales that have been passed on over the decades.  The cost is $15 per walker and online registration is required at www.grandrapidsrunningtours.com

  I took the downtown haunted tour last fall and enjoyed it. I have a schedule conflict so can't make it but recommend this as a fun,educational fall event.l
