Haunted Oswego Tours

Haunted Oswego Tours is a ghost-story walking tour through Oswego, the Port City on Lake Ontario. The 90-minute outing follows tales that have spread by word of mouth for hundreds of years, stories meant to enchant, entertain and maybe give a shiver. Guests hear about spirits said to haunt the streets, tunnels, homes and businesses.

The walk covers about a mile at a leisurely pace, so it is easy for most visitors to enjoy. Oswego’s long history and closeness to the water keep the spirits active, according to the tour, and some ghosts are said to dictate remodeling plans or appear in broad daylight. Some identities are well known, while others remain a mystery.
