SPECIAL MAILING OF THE NEWSLETTER!
THE "WANT TO SEE A GHOST?" ISSUE / 9 NOVEMBER 2010

Welcome to a short, special edition of the newsletter -- the first of two we'll have coming this month (the next will be the "All Ghost Story Issue"!) -- and a special look at some of the great events that we have coming up from our American Hauntings Tours in 2011. Over the past couple of weeks, we have added a number of new overnights and ghost hunts, including a few additional dates for events that sold out very quickly. We have additional dates for the Lemp Mansion (April 10); Villisca Ax Murder House (June 25); a new date for Pennsylvania's Nemacolin Castle (March 26) and more! Also, take a look at a few of the expanded features that we have for some of our big weekend trips -- all of which have limited spots remaining!

So, do you want to see a ghost? We may not be able to guarantee it, but your chances are better with American Hauntings -- America's Original Overnight Ghost Tour Company -- than with anybody else!
