Spirit Talks, guided by an experienced “sensitive,” is an exploration into communication with some of the colorful personalities that haunt this historic area. Spirit Talks takes place in a 150 year old building and your guide has communicated and worked with the spirits many times over the years. If the spirits are talkative, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions directly and communicate personally with spirits from long ago. There may also be an opportunity to use some unique equipment featured in paranormal investigations. Spirit Talks meets at 9:00 pm at The Quartermaster Tavern. Please enter through the rear, next to the General Store on Potomac Street, across from the main train station driveway. Reservations are a must to guarantee your spot at Spirit Talks.

An ideal day in Harper’s Ferry would be to arrive early, enjoy lunch, tour the town, and then take an early Ghost Tour, followed by dinner or a snack at The Quartermaster Tavern, which serves food until 8:00 pm. After eating, come downstairs to join Spirit Talks at 9:00 pm. Show a copy of your email reservation and you’ll receive a 10% meal discount.

Harper’s Ferry is an easy, economical drive from the DC metro area and the leaves are beautiful this time of year. You might want to make these events part of your own personal Halloween traditions, so grab your friends and family and head to West Virginia this weekend.
