WHAT TO EXPECT ON A GHOST CAPERS TOUR
• Ghost Capers tours are entirely open-air and proceed rain or (moon)shine, so bring umbrellas and/or ponchos if rain is on the forecast!
• We stop outside eight haunted locations and share stories of how their history might connect with their alleged hauntings, plus offer our theories as to who might be haunting the place and why.
• Our tours take 45 minutes - 1 hour to complete, depending on guest pace.
• Each tour includes around 20 - 25 minutes of walking time, in stretches of 1 - 5 minutes at a time, and covers about a mile.
• Parts of our tour route may be dark and may include narrow or uneven pavement. We welcome the use of flashlights and mobility aids, but our route may not be fully accessible due to Cape May's infrastructure.
AGE GUIDELINES AND SENSITIVE CONTENT
• Guests of all ages are welcome on our Ghost Capers, though we believe the tour will be best enjoyed by those ages 12 and up.
• Infants in strollers or those being carried do not require tickets. However, due to our capacity limits, all other guests require general admission tickets.
• The tour includes references to topics some may find sensitive including death by natural causes (including those of children), the Civil War (including battle, injury, imprisonment, and threat of execution), and a death that was potentially self-inflicted. We aim to treat these subjects respectfully and do not discuss them in explicit detail.
FINDING US, PARKING, AND CHECKING IN
• Tours meet at 700 Washington Street, directly in front of the Cape May Post Office. Click or tap here to get directions via Apple or Google maps.
• We do not have designated parking, so plan to arrive early enough to find street parking if needed. Spots in Cape May can fill quickly, especially in summer and on weekends. Click or tap here to get more info on parking in Cape May, including paid lots and meters.
• There is no signage for our tour at the meeting place, but our guide will be waiting at the meeting spot from 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled tour start time, wearing a Ghost Capers shirt and carrying a lantern. Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled tour start time to give our guide time to check everyone in.
• To check in, give our guide the name under which your party is booked, show your tickets on your mobile device, or show printed tickets.
RESTROOMS, TRASH, AND RECYCLING
• The closest public restroom is the Washington Street Comfort Station, which is about a five minute walk from the tour start/end location. Click or tap here to get directions via Apple or Google maps.
• Please leave enough time to visit the restroom before the tour start time if you need to, as we cannot wait for those who need to leave to use the restroom.
• We also do not pass by public trash or recycling receptacles so please dispose of any trash or recyclables before joining us or plan to carry it with you during the tour.
