<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#4A4A4A;background:white">Ghost Tours of Vernon have become a staple event not only at Halloween but also in the summer. This year marks the fifteenth year of spine-chilling tours led by Mr. Gabriel David
Sumegi Newman the 2<sup>nd</sup>. The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives Education Coordinator draws on his extensive theatrical background, combining drama and ominous storytelling to produce a one of a kind tour! During the after dark walking tour, you’ll
be spooked at every corner by stories of haunted houses, monsters, gruesome murders, paranormal anomalies and macabre historical oddities.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#4A4A4A;background:white">As Melissa C. of Vernon, a Trip Advisor reviewer shared, “I loved this tour. I've always been interested in different types of paranormal activities so when I heard about the
‘Ghost Tours of Vernon’ I knew I just had to see what all the hype was about! The guide is absolutely a delight to listen to and knows how to keep his audience interested. I would gladly go on this tour again.”
