Haunted Pub Tour of Deland
We'll meet you at the Half Wall Beer House located at 105 West Indiana Ave. and go over the agenda and rules of the tour. We'll educate you on the different types of haunts you may encounter on our tour and then hand you ghost hunting equipment to enhance your experience. From there we are off to explore the area! This tour is more of a social tour and lasts about 2 to 3 hours depending on the number of people in the group. No two tours are ever alike even if you do the same one twice. We'll point out the landmarks and tell you the history behind Deland. Then we will tell you the urban legends and personal stories we have about the buildings themselves. By the end of the tour, you've gone to a number of haunted bars and pubs. Hopefully, you emerge with a ghost story of your own! Go to Americanghostadventures.com for more pictures and details. Other things to note If you plan on drinking, please make arrangements to get home safely. Each guest is responsible for their own personal safety.
