Operated by Main Street Woodbury Inc., the downtown nonprofit · Covers Woodbury's colonial and Revolutionary War history along Broad Street · Seasonal evening walking tour, with tickets sold through Eventbrite
Woodbury is the seat of Gloucester County in southern New Jersey, a town with a colonial-era core along Broad Street. During the Revolutionary War the area saw the movement of British and Hessian troops, and that period supplies some of the oldest stories the ghost tour tells.
The Historic Woodbury Ghost Tour is organized by Main Street Woodbury Inc., the downtown management nonprofit based at 3 S Broad Street. It runs as a seasonal evening event, most often around the fall and Halloween season, departing from 5 S Broad Street. The route is a walking tour along Broad Street and Delaware Street, the historic spine of the town, where guides connect the buildings to documented local history.
The tour has been covered in local press, including the Woodbury Warbler community newsletter, which has listed dates, departure point, and pricing, with tickets sold through Eventbrite. A basic walking tour has run around $15, and a tour-with-dinner-and-medium option around $45. Because the event is seasonal, dates and prices vary year to year and are posted on the Main Street Woodbury website.

The Historic Woodbury Ghost Tour bills itself as a walk that blends history with the town's stories of hauntings. Among the tales the guides tell are the deaths of Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War, whose spirits are said to still walk among the living, and hauntings connected to the historic Friends Meeting House, one of Woodbury's oldest standing buildings.
The route along Broad Street and Delaware Street passes a number of the town's 18th- and 19th-century structures, and the tour attaches anecdotes and ghost stories to them as it goes. These are local legends rather than documented or investigated cases, and the tour presents them as part of Woodbury's storytelling tradition. HauntBound lists the tour as a way to encounter that lore in context, narrated by Main Street Woodbury's guides, with the history kept in the foreground.

Galveston, TX
The Strand Historic District in Galveston was established as the city's commercial core beginning in the 1840s and became one of the most important commercial centers in Texas by the 1870s. The surviving 1877-era iron-front commercial buildings along the Strand survived the September 8, 1900 hurricane that killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people in Galveston and destroyed most residential structures on the island. During the recovery period, the Strand district buildings served as mass morgues, triage stations, and temporary housing for survivors, a role documented in local newspaper accounts from September and October 1900.
Bowling Green, KY
Bowling Green, established in 1798 as the Warren County seat, carries a Civil War legacy as the Confederate capital of Kentucky from October 1861 to February 1862. The city saw extensive fortification and destruction during the war before its evacuation by Confederate forces ahead of advancing Union troops.
Jacksonville, OR
Historic Jacksonville, Inc. runs the Haunted History Walking Tour in Jacksonville, a southern Oregon Gold Rush town and National Historic Landmark district.
