DALLAS, NC -- October is here, and so are the wildly popular Friday night Haunted Ghost Tours on the Court Square in Dallas! Have you ever smelled the stench of the Red Eyed Devil (yuck!) or heard the Gentleman Caller knocking on your door (should I answer it?!)? Join the staff of the Gaston County Museum and the Dallas Branch Library on a lantern-lit stroll through Historic Dallas and the 1852 Hoffman Hotel and hear about these hauntings and more! Tours are family friendly, though ages 13 and up are encouraged. Children under 13 are free. The tours involve approximately an hour of walking, with some non-paved terrain and stairs. Guests with accessibility concerns are asked to let staff know prior to the start of the tour. Tours are every Friday evening in October at 7:00 and 8:00 pm. (October 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th.) All tours will begin at the front of the Gaston County Museum of Art & History, 131 W. Main St., Dallas. Tickets are $15 for the general public 13 and older and $5 for Museum members. Tickets are available at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/ghost-tours-on-the-square--2026 or by calling the Museum at (704) 922-7681.
