Ghost tours to benefit historical society

For those who did not get enough hauntings and ghouls on Halloween weekend, the New Oxford Area Historical Society is sponsoring several "Ghost Walks" Friday and Saturday evenings.

I'm looking forward to this weekend's tours and the weather is going to be perfectly chilly.

$9 and $15!! That's crazy! The Gettysburg tours are only $7 -$8 and there's a heck of a lot more paranormal activity there than in New Oxford!

Sorry you feel that way. Like already posted, it's a fund raiser. If you have not taken the New Oxford tours before, then you probably have no idea; you might be surprised. Excluding the spirits of soldiers in the battlefield, Gettysburg has nothing over New Oxford when it comes to paranormal activity.

I've heard that McSherrystown is more haunted that both New Oxford & Gettysburg combined!

How can one place really be more haunted than another? How do you determine who's more haunted? Whoever has the highest EMF reading or who has the biggest Orb? If it's haunted, then its haunted.

Ghost tours are about folklore and storytelling. It doesn't matter about who's town is more haunted. Good stories are what it's all about.

Some of the ghost tours in Gettysburg are charging over $10 a ticket. Some of the other ghost tours in the region charge as much as $15-$20 per ticket. A $15 ticket for a fundraiser is by no means outrageous.

I used to live on the second floor of the old New Oxford Medical College. I wont go as far as to say the place was haunted, but some weird things certainly happened there.

OK I'm curious where is the New Oxford Medical College??? and yea I believe there are ghosts in good ole New Oxford...

The N.O. medical college is the large white bldg at the corner of LWE and College Ave. It was a pre-Civil War Medical college, that now houses apartments.

LWW Not East right???

Bryan is partially correct. It is East. The college grounds encompassed more than that building. Come on the tours on Friday night for the rest of the details. Hurry though, there are only a handful of tickets remaining.
