    A Haunting Announcement From The CC Ghost Walk:


    Though we continued to try to find some sliver of hope in producing our beautiful ghost walk in 2020, it is time to announce we are unable to produce the 2020 Carson City Ghost Walk in the safe, entertaining and community scope way we have achieved in the past with Covid - 19 restrictions and risks still present in our community.
    We hope to stay more present on social media and aim to share past walk memories, create some virtual content for our audiences and maybe even some Ghost Walk SWAG.
    We invite YOU, our audience and friends to share photos, memories and experiences on our page as well and or tag us on your instagram photos and posts.
    We love and miss the ghost walk so much, the patrons, the stories, the history, the businesses and of course the spirits, who I believe are all still with us as we negotiate this challenging world. We look forward to getting back in 2021 stronger and more fabulous than ever with the hope of adding Joy Evan's Lone Mountain Cemetary Tour to our Ghost Walk Season of live events.
    Sending love, appreciation and good health to all of you,
    ~ Mary Bennett & Baylee Biber
