The Return of Haunted Roundout Boat Tour

As it has in past years, the Hudson River Maritime Museum has recently announced that the Haunted Roundout Creek Boat Tours will be returning again this fall. The tour will take those brave enough on a tour of Roundout Creek and the Hudson Valley and it sounds delightfully terrifying.

As the museum's website states...

Stories of sunken shipwrecks, maritime murders and ghostly apparitions await...COME ABOARD IF YOU DARE

In total, this haunted tour will take you on a tour of the Hudson River Maritime Museum where you will be guided by one of the museum's "storytellers". By the way, the storytellers are quite anxious to share some ghostly tales with all visitors.

Upon completion of the tour of the museum, guests will be taken to board the "spirit ship" Solaris. Once aboard voyagers will be told about the numerous "spine-chilling" past of Roundout Creek and all of the poor souls who lost their lives navigating the dangerous waters. Not to mention the monsters that lurk beneath the waves. It is not speaking in hyperbole to say that, you just don't know what you may bump into while on this tour.
