Queen City Ghostwalk

10/11/2025

Some nights on the Ghostwalk I get surprised for non-supernatural reasons. Did Olympic bronze medalist and rugby goddess Ilona Maher walk past me while I was giving my tour introduction tonight? Yes, yes she did. Did I stop talking, completely forget what I was saying, and weirdly stare at her out of the corner of my eye? Also yes, but at least I stopped myself from blurting out her name into my microphone and completely derailing things. I hope she enjoyed Margaret Cho (what I wouldn't give to take the whole Maher family on a ghostwalk 😍).

Today, August 19, 2025, marks 333 years since my ancestor, George Jacobs Sr was hanged for witchcraft in Salem, MA. I am descended from his granddaughter, who was also one of the accused and ended up testifying against her grandfather to save her own life. Below is a painting by Thompkins H. Matteson depicting his trial.

Every now and then, when I'm doing research, I come across a real doozy of an obituary. This one takes the cake, or, rather, scrambled eggs today.

Hi All, just a quick heads up that we're having some difficulty with ticketing for Queen City Ghostwalk events. They are now visible but they all say they are sold out when they most certainly are not. We're working on it, but we wanted to make sure folks looking for tickets don't give up! We'll be sure to post an update when things are back on track. Thanks so much for your patience! Adding a sun-drenched picture of Lakeview Cemetery for the algorithm.

Nectar's has been the first stop on our Darkness Falls Downtown tour for the past several years. For those who mourn its loss (and we're certainly among them), perhaps this will bring you some comfort. Once upon a time Nectar's was known as the Amuse-U Emporium (spelling may be incorrect), and it was home to an arcade on the lower level and a silent movie theater upstairs. That space had a whole life long before it became what it is today. Here's hoping it has a next life that's equally as impactful and interesting!

The music venue announced in May it would close for the summer due to the impacts of downtown construction, but now it says the closure is permanent.

Wow! This came across my feed today and absolutely captivated me. What a horrible tragedy to come from an innocent prank! If anyone is interested, Nelson Bond is buried in Drewsville, NH (even though his funeral was held on Loomis St in Burlington). Thank goodness the administration nipped this nasty behavior in the bud!
