On Saturday October 25, St Peters Episcopal Church will host hour long haunted lantern tours. During the tours, the centuries of spirits of Perth Amboy’s past will haunt the neighborhood. The popular haunted history tour had been hosted by the Proprietary House for many years, attracting thousands. But this year the Royal Governors Mansion is under renovations in preparation for upcoming American 250 festivities. St Peter’s, one of the oldest churches in NJ, will host the event. St. Peter’s is located at 188 Rector St on the Perth Amboy Water. Their cemetery has some of the oldest gravestones in NJ, dating back to 1687.

The spooky journey through centuries of history will be a guided tour that starts at St. Peter’s Parish House. The tour goes through St. Peters’s Graveyard, where you will meet spirits from the past and hear creepy tales. The tour will also visit the interior of historic St Peter’s Church, where you will enjoy the sounds of the season by renowned organist and concert pianist Simon Mulligan. Hot cider and savory and sweet treat will be served.

Tours are at 5:30, 7pm and 8:30pm. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Children under 12 are $20.
