City Séance Ghost Tour 2024

Tuesday, October 08, 2024 to Wednesday, October 30, 2024

Roam the streets of Albany’s past with Madam Maeve, your guide into the ghostly history that lurks in the nooks and crannies of the Capital Region. Together, we’ll cross the veil in search of historic Albany specters like Legs Diamond, the young Herman Melville Spouting Tales about a Whale in the Hudson and the cursed couple who shared Lincoln’s ill-fated theatre box—Henry and Clara Rathbone.  We may even encounter other nameless specters, who have been known to appear without introduction.

Join theREP and Discover Albany’s Maeve McEneny-Johnson, as she walks the streets of Albany after dark to unearth Albany’s past.  Will we catch a glimpse of the infamous Woman in White? Do you know the story of the scallywags that made the Kenmore Ballroom their living haunt? Will Madam Maeve be able to conjure the spirits along the way?  Walk with us as we unearth these ghosts and more!
