We start before dusk so we can visit Oakwood Cemetery, Whirlpool and Devil's Hole parks then we head to Prospect Park & Luna Island to see the Falls illuminated after dusk and talk about tragedies and accidents through history while taking in breathtaking views.

From Daredevils who misjudged the dangers to accidents while constructing bridges, boaters who picked the wrong time to fall asleep to Victorian Romanticisation of Niagara Falls as a suicide destination resulting in many unsettling deaths in the 1800s. I tell the stories of those who died to honor their memory and acknowledge the darker side of history.

During the tour I also discuss other haunted locations in the area including Fort Niagara and MarJim Manor. Tour can be customized to include visits to either or both of those locations as well.
