CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — As the spooky season approaches, Chillicothe residents are eagerly preparing for the highly anticipated annual Ghost Walk, an event that promises to send shivers down the spines of all who dare to participate. Taking place in downtown Chillicothe on Saturday, September 23rd, from 10 am to 6 pm, this hair-raising extravaganza offers an unforgettable experience for ghost enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike.
The Ghost Walk has become a beloved tradition in Chillicothe, enchanting participants with a mesmerizing tour of some of the city’s most enigmatic and haunted locations. This year’s attendees will have the opportunity to explore the eerie realms of Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, Chillicothe City Council, Wreck Creations, Tea of Life Apothecary, Rose Quartz Metaphysical Shop, Gemini Nails, and Old Capitol Brewing. Each venue holds its own historical significance and paranormal secrets, and dedicated volunteer storytellers will reveal spine-chilling tales that have been passed down through generations.
Beyond the thrills and chills, the Ghost Walk also serves a greater purpose. It acts as an essential annual fundraiser for the highly anticipated Chillicothe Halloween Festival, scheduled to take place in Yoctangee Park from October 13th to 15th, 2023. This festival has long been a beloved tradition in the community, and all proceeds from the Ghost Walk will be utilized to cover the operational costs of the forthcoming celebration.
Organizing an event of this scale requires the dedication and hard work of numerous volunteers who generously donate their time and talents to bring the Ghost Walk to life. Their passion for preserving local traditions and the town’s history is commendable, ensuring that the event remains a cherished experience for all attendees year after year.
For those eager to be part of the Ghost Walk magic, the event organizers warmly welcome volunteers to join their team. Interested individuals can contact the team at [email protected] to find out how they can contribute to this exceptional community event.
