Ghosts of Anoka Tours - 2008 “Ghosts of Anoka” tour will be available for the first time this season on Thursday, June 5th, and Saturday, June 7th. The very popular “Ghosts of Anoka” tour will be available on the first and third Thursday and Saturday of each month from May through October. This walking tour of downtown Anoka is offered by the Anoka County Historical Society. Have you ever entered a dark, empty room only to see a shadow scurry aside? Or the hair on the back of your neck rises for no reason you can see? Or maybe you’ve felt an icy draft or had an eerie feeling as you pass a certain place? You are not alone! Stories abound in Anoka of odd happenings and eerie encounters. There is a house where the rocking chair rocks with no one sitting in it. A business in town has employees who won’t enter parts of the building because of the woman seen only in a mirror. Doors that lock themselves, displays that change on their own, cold drafts…..might they all speak of things unexplained? Adventurous types will want to join the Anoka County Historical Society on the Ghosts of Anoka tour. The tour will begin and end at the History Center, and will start promptly at 7:30pm. It is a skillful weaving together of history, conjecture, and fact, sprinkled with a flair for the dramatic and seasoned by good story telling. Come explore and wonder with ACHS as we take a very different look at history! Tickets are available in advance at the History Center, or by calling 763-421-0600. The tour is limited to 24 people. Tickets are $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for ACHS members (must show membership card), and $5.00 for children. The tour route is 15 blocks around Anoka city streets and lasts about one hour and a half.
