Ghost Tours - The Shadow of Sherbrooke Village

In this exciting collaboration between Sherbrooke Village and Dead Reckoning Theatre Company out of Chicago, playwright Andrew Marchetti taps the incredible folklore of Dr. Helen Creighton in a manner as ready for the stage as it is Nova Scotia's largest living museum.

This thrilling tour, offered twice weekly through to Halloween with some additional dates, will feature authentic accounts drawn from Creighton's collected songs and stories.

As a "Wayfarer" you will be given the opportunity to don cloak and lantern as you follow a group of timeless guides from destination to destination within the Village in hopes of determining the nature of Sherbrooke's "Legend."  Are you hunting for clues or being hunted yourselves? What mysteries will unfold in two hours time? Only those brave enough to experience The Shadow of Sherbrooke Village will find out. 

Space is extremely limited for this exclusive affair. Only twenty tours will take place in 2024. Group size is limited to a paltry 12 wayfarers for each tour making our 2024 run available to only 240 lucky souls.
