HAUNTED HISTORY PARANORMAL EXPEDITION WITH HEATHER LEAH — Take a terrifying tour of Raleigh's paranormal past and learn the dark secrets hidden in the Capital City. Far scarier than a traditional haunted tour — this eerie 90 minute expedition will take you to historic plantation houses, unmarked graveyards, across haunted train tracks and outside haunted mansions. And we won't be staying on the safety of the trolley. We'll get off at several of the most haunted places in Raleigh to take a closer look. Not recommended for small children.

HIDDEN HISTORY WITH HEATHER LEAH — Did you know there was a 1920s speakeasy with a secret door hidden beneath Fayetteville Street? Or that an old cobblestone tunnel is hidden underneath an abandoned baseball stadium in downtown? On this 90 minute tour, get an up-close look at Raleigh’s hidden locales including lost graveyards and hidden tunnels.

HIDDEN HISTORY: VOL. 2 WITH HEATHER LEAH — Climb aboard The Great Raleigh Trolley this fall for volume two of Heather Leah’s fan-favorite Hidden History tour! Expect new stories, new forgotten places, and more Raleigh secrets you’ve come to expect from this 5th generation Raleighite and author.
