“When The Whistle Blows” transcends time, taking guests back to when Cary was just a humble village to directly experience — for the first time — the chilling historic events heralded by the train whistle approaching Cary.

This haunting history left a mark on our land. Perhaps an otherworldly energy will be stirred as we revisit bygone moments and actual locations where the history happened. Whether a skeptic or believer, curious guests are welcome to activate any paranormal investigation apps, equipment, and cameras to try to capture any strange evidence and share these discoveries in real-time on the tour.

In partnership with local downtown “Whistle Stop” locations, tours will begin and end at historic watering holes for liquid courage. One drink at each location is included with your ticket purchase. “Whistle Stop” locations will vary somewhat by night but include some combination of Graffiti, The Matthews House, The Walk Up, and Cotton House.Transportation through the tour will be provided by historic trolley.

NOTE: While the tour will not feature gore or deliberate jump scares, the history will be live, interactive, and may be occasionally disturbing.

You will never experience the Cary-approaching train whistle quite the same.
