The Olmsted Society of Riverside's Riverside Spooktacular: Phantoms of the Past ghost walks are back again and even more spooktacular than before. This year, history comes back to life with some ghosts from Riverside's past. Join us for one of these special “spooky” walking tours—learn a bit about Riverside history with an extra helping of eerie occurrences, spooky stories and local lore.
The tour starts and ends at the Riverside Train Station, 90 Bloomingbank Road. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your tour.
Some things to keep in mind: The tour lasts approximately two hours. The route is a two-mile walk on paved surfaces, but some surfaces may be uneven. The tour takes place on dimly lit streets, so consider bringing a small flashlight. Not suitable for children under 10 due to the duration and distance of the tour. Tour contains descriptions of disease, violence and the supernatural.
A note regarding historical accuracy: While the tour contains invented dialog, every effort has been made to ensure the details of Riverside history and historical persons are accurate. Some characters are fictional but based on historical records and/or recollections of real persons.
