Anoka, MN… the Halloween Capital of the World! Tales of rocking chairs that move on their own, lights being turned on after a hotel is locked up for the night, and the shadowy figure of a woman passing through rooms. These are just some of the ghostly tales you'll hear when to take the "Ghosts of Anoka" walking tour.
The Ghosts of Anoka Tour is a 1 hour walking tour of downtown Anoka. Young Professionals from the across the northern Twin Cities area will enjoy a blend of history and folklore, as they stop before the homes and businesses where eerie and unexplained things have happened. Skilled storytellers share the facts, as they have been reported, and allow you to draw your own conclusions. Does a blind Civil War soldier still walk around Anoka?
This Young Professionals event will begin at 4:30 p.m. at Billy’s Bar & Grill to enjoy some delicious appetizers, drinks and socializing. Around 5:30 p.m. we will walk over to the Anoka County History Center to begin the private Ghosts of Anoka Tour. Please bring warm clothes as the Ghost tour is outside.
The first 20 people to register for the event will be entered into a drawing to win a $20 gift card to Billy’s Bar & Grill.
