Ghost Tours of New Hope
"Follow a lantern-led "walk" along picturesque streets where you'll learn about the doings of such places as the towpath itself; or see the phantom Hitchhiker who may pass you in the moonlight; or see the historic inn where Aaron Burr appears from time to time and stares with sightless eyes... plus new exciting stories have been added to the Tour." (Address in map is random. Guide will tell you where to meet for the tour.)
