As I write this P is scanning our house for ghosts. He tells me the green ones are good ghosts, the red ones are medieval ghosts and the yellow ones are sorta bad ghosts. You see, we just got back from a Green Bay Ghost Tour offered by the local library and local ghost hunter and author Tim Friess. Before we started the walking tour, the librarian suggested downloading one of the free ghost detecting apps. That’s all P needed to hear!

I’m pretty sure he didn’t hear much of the tour while he scanned for ghosts with my phone…for the entire tour. Had he been paying attention he’d have seen five haunted sites (an abbreviated version of Tim’s full tour) in the downtown Green Bay area: the downtown YMCA, the building formerly known as Confetti’s Night Club, the Bellin Building, the site of one of the oldest cemeteries in the state (now paved, of course), and Captain’s Walk Winery. I read Tim’s book Haunted Green Bay and was ready to see some of these sites mentioned in the book. What I didn’t expect and what made it really enjoyable was hearing the history of the buildings, people and city of Green Bay. At each stop Tim went back to the origin of each building and worked forward to the story of the ghosts present in each building.

P may not have heard much of the tour, but he enjoyed it just as much as I did. When we got back to the library he headed straight for the display of ghost books and started picking some out. I didn’t check out any books of my own, but I’m certainly ready to take the full Green Bay Ghost tour to hear the rest of the stories!
