What to expect
A family-friendly outdoor story adventure—not a haunted house or scare attraction.
- Six self-guided stations along Brighton Avenue
- Short ghost stories, hidden characters and visual clues
- Light walking, searching and group problem-solving
- About 45–60 minutes to complete all six
- Begin anywhere and visit one station or collect them all
- Best for ages 8+; younger hunters can join with grown-up help
- One internet-connected phone per group is enough
- Explore outdoors at your own pace
Can’t make the finale? No problem. The Ghost Hunt is a complete experience on its own. Try one station or collect all six—the November 1 Finale Party is an optional bonus.
Hunt carefully
Ghosts are distracting. Traffic is real.
- Use marked crosswalks and look both ways before crossing.
- Stay on public sidewalks and public areas.
- Do not enter buildings, yards or restricted spaces.
- Watch for traffic, uneven pavement and other pedestrians.
- Park safely before scanning or ghost hunting.
- Children should explore with a responsible adult.
Optional finale experience
Join the Ghost Finale Party—if you can!
The street hunt is a complete experience on its own. If you can join us November 1, bring your completed ghost collection to receive a small prize and enter the raffle for the Grand Ghost Hunter Prize. Then help bring the six recovered objects together, reveal their final connection and complete the ghosts’ unfinished story.
