Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time to ensure a prompt departure and avoid missing any part of the chilling narrative.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, as this is a walking tour that covers various locations throughout Chapel Hill.
- Consider bringing a flashlight for navigating darker areas, though photos are allowed, videos are not.
- While pets are welcome if they don't disrupt the tour, be mindful of the tour's length and the potential for late-night activity.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as tours operate rain or shine and evening temperatures can drop.
