Heeeeeee’s back, again……………….for the third time! Charles Adams III, that is. Author of more than 30 books on the supernatural, Charles returns to lead Guided Tours Unlimited, Inc.’s annual ghost tour. His 2004 “The Ghosts of Bucks County” and last year’s “Hauntings with Charles Adams III” were enthusiastically received, and this year’s return visit is anxiously awaited. Charles has led ghosts tours from New York City to Scotland, from Philadelphia to Wales, and from Cape May to England. He has served as commentator and consultant for the History Channel, A&E, The Learning Channel, and The Travel Channel on their programs on the paranormal. In the morning you will travel to Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, for a visit to the birthplace of native son Daniel Boone. Here you will be led to the deTurk family graveyard and learn the secrets of the burial ground. You will see the Bertolet-Herbein cabin with its mysterious “soul holes” said to be placed so that should anyone die in the cabin, the body would be taken to the room with the holes to allow the spirit of the deceased to leave and find its way to the other side.
You will then travel to the 1753 Jacob Keim Farmstead, one of the most haunted sites in Berks County. Located near Lobachville, the farmstead’s buildings are considered to be one of the finest examples of 18th century German-influenced architecture. Jacob, son of the first recorded settler to stake a claim in the Oley Valley, is said to have reappeared three month after his demise circa 1799 and was seen by neighbors nonchalantly shaving in the moonlight.
After lunch, you will have a walking tour of Reading’s Centre Park Historic District. You will pass five haunted mansions where you will learn of the spirits that continue to reside in them and visit the elegant Charles Evans Cemetery. This sprawling 119-acre “garden cemetery” founded in 1846 by Charles Evans, a local lawyer and philanthropist, contains the graves of three of the Bissinger children and their mother. The Bissinger murder-suicide at Lock #49 in the Union Canal at approximately 5 PM on August 17, 1875, made national headlines and provided fodder for gossips for decades. You will hear the horrifying story of Louisa Bissinger and her three small children, Mollie, Lille, and Phillip, who sparked one of Reading’s most bizarre scandals and continues to be known as “the tragedy by the canal.” Your tour will end at the Tulpehocken Valley County Park and Gring’s Mill, where the heartbreaking crime scene unfolded and where many, many people have witnessed audible and visible entities on the site.

The tour includes deluxe motorcoach transportation, admission, lunch, and all taxes and gratuities per itinerary.
