Ghost Walk tickets on sale

Darke County Center for the Arts will continue a Halloween season tradition by hosting their tenth annual Ghost Walk in downtown Greenville on Friday, October 25, Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27. Based on stories collected by Arcanum resident Rita Arnold which reveal local encounters with the unknown and unexplained, tours led by local guides will begin at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. and last for at least an hour and a half. In celebration of the popular fundraiser's longevity, Ghost Walk participants can also engage in a “Tenth Anniversary Scavenger Hunt” during the event. Winners will earn free tickets to upcoming DCCA shows; prizes will be awarded each night.

According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, the walking tour will include new stories as well as old favorites including a fantastic tale revealing the ultimate fate of the famed founder of Fort Greene Ville, General “Mad” Anthony Wayne. Ms. Jordan also reminds potential participants that many of the sites visited include uneven terrain and are located in dimly lighted areas. Also, as in past years, Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather conditions; if seriously inclement weather occurs, all of the stories will be told indoors.

Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 will serve refreshments at St. Clair Memorial Hall before and after the event. Also, Mrs. Arnold's books chronicling ghosts from Darke County and beyond will be available for purchase. Tickets for the Ghost Walk cost $10, and can be purchased at DCCA's office located on the third floor of the Greenville Public Library, as well as at Ann's Gifts and Readmore's Hallmark in downtown Greenville. Tickets may be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or purchased online at dcca@centerforarts.com. Tickets will also be available at the door.
