What you need to know, the basics:
"Tonight's tour is about real ghosts. There are no actors here - no script. There are no props, no tricks. The spirits are real, restless, and active - tonight we will visit their dwelling places. Tonight, we will be the intruders. Welcome, everyone, to haunted Naperville."
Your Host: Kevin Frantz
Start Place: We meet at the military statue at the entrance to Central Park. Use the Google Map teardrop at the top of this app, or use this address in your GPS: 50 S. Washington St. Naperville IL. 60540. (Tour starts across Washington St. from Catch-35 restaurant.)
Parking: Lots of free and safe parking available. The most convenient garage is at 5 W. Benton St., behind Catch-35 restaurant.
Ghosts Following You?: No, a ghost can't and won't follow you home from this event (that's just Hollywood).
Weather Concerns: If it's lightly raining (without lightning) the tour will still go on, you may cancel your reservation if you'd like to. If, for safety reasons, we are forced to cancel, we'll let you know (using the phone # you supplied). If the outside temp is cool be sure to dress for the weather because it will get even cooler as night deepens.
Restrooms: There are clean and safe restrooms in Central Park, at the tour starting place.
Camera Use: We allow photo cameras / Smartphones at the tour, as well as ghost hunting gear (EMF Meter, Ghost Radar, etc). No recording allowed, audio or video.
Dining / Night Clubs: There are lots of great restaurants / clubs within a very short walk from the tour. Due to Co-vid restrictions, we recommend that you call them for their current dining policy. Their phone numbers and website links are HERE.
