Haunted History of a small Quaker town - Hauntings related to the Underground Railroad and other stories

​

Join us for a brief encounter with Westfield's most haunting legends and folk tales. Our tour is filled with stories of ghosts of the Underground Railroad and those who helped them escape mixed with modern day gangsters and mischief from Westfield’s haunted history. Surprising spirits from the past of Westfield still roam the quaint and dark downtown today.

​

Originally Delaware, Miami and Shawnee Native American inhabited the area. After their removal, Westfield was founded by US settlers in 1834. In this area most came from North Carolina and were Quakers, often related or long aquainted folks. They were against the enslavement economy of the South and wanted a new start in a free state. Many believe they also wanted to establish another stop on the growing Underground Railroad - a secret network of people helping the formerly enslaved to get to freedom!

Our original ghost walk, started in 2002, has come a long way with many new hauntings and experiences our guests and ourselves had on these ghost walks as well as just visiting the locations on any ordinary day. We normally end the walk at the very historic Anti-Slavery Friends cemetery which has a rich history as well has numerous hauntings.​​
