Change to the Historic Elizabeth City Ghost Walk Line-up
Due to some divisive issues, there has been a change in Ghost Walk’s lineup of characters for 2025. The ghost of Margaret Sanger has been removed. She will be replaced by the ghost of Maudie Fearing, a local matriarch who raised ten children during the Great Depression, and played piano for silent moves. “Miss Maudie” will appear at 606 W. Main Street.
The Elizabeth City Historic Ghost Walk steering committee is devoted to making Ghost Walk a safe and enjoyable experience for all. In its 27th year, Ghost Walk remains a much-anticipated community event.
Come join us October 10 and 11, 5:30 – 9:30, for “Famous and Familiar Faces.” See you there!
