Canton Historic Haunts Ghost Tour This October in Downtown Canton

Looking for a spooky adventure this fall? Join Canton Historic Haunts for a 2-hour guided ghost tour through downtown Canton, featuring local legends and paranormal tales.

Experience 200 Years of Haunted History This October

If you're looking for something delightfully spooky to add to your October calendar, Canton Historic Haunts is offering guided ghost tours right through the heart of historic downtown Canton. These two-hour walking tours bring nearly 200 years of local history to life—along with some of the unexplained stories and reported paranormal encounters that have lingered in the shadows of familiar streets and storefronts.

Tours start at Cannon Park at 130 East Main Street, where you'll meet your guide beneath the gazebo before setting out through the Downtown Canton Historic District. Along the way, you'll hear chilling local legends and accounts of strange happenings tied to buildings you've likely walked past dozens of times without a second thought. From the historic marble courthouse to the Canton Theatre and even Riverview Cemetery, established in the 1840s, each stop on the tour reveals another layer of Canton's past—and the spirits that some say still call it home.

Family-Friendly Frights and October Tour Dates

Canton Historic Haunts has designed these tours to be family-friendly, though organizers note there's a fair bit of walking involved, so smaller children may be more comfortable in a stroller. Multiple tour times are scheduled throughout October, with evening departures at 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM on select dates, giving you flexibility to fit a ghost tour into your spooky-season plans. Tours typically run from April through November, making fall the perfect time to experience Canton's haunted side.
