Boo! The Ghost Tour

It was a good thing we were right on time for the ghost tour, as you need to take a shuttle bus down to the actual start of the tour. The Quarantine station is where 13,000 immigrants passed through from 1850 to 1984. If there was any outbreak of disease on an immigrant ship, people had to be quarantined until there was no sign of disease. 550 people died here, so it is most definitely a haunted place.

We had a really good tour guide (it’s pretty much a theater-like job), and it was a neat way to see a historical place. There were certainly some spooky moments. It turns out that our tour guide lived near us. Since we had already hitched one ride, I asked how he felt about giving us a lift home. He was more than happy to oblige with a ride in his PT cruiser convertible. It sure beat taking a bus, then a ferry, then another bus! Here is a pic of Dania with a lantern on the tour and us with Brian the tour guide.
