Calithumpians - The Haunted Hike - Fredericton, NB

Lindsay C

This was the most different haunted tour I've ever done! Bucket brigade for the win! It started with rain but weather improved. Great comedy. The kids enjoyed it but the adults seemed to as well. Come with no expectations and you will have a great time!

I've been to a bunch of these haunted hikes in different cities across North America, and this one was totally different. Don't expect anything like what you've seen elsewhere, as this is much more a comedy skit run by students than a haunted hike.

That being said, I had a really great time! The cast made me laugh quite a bit, and I was very impressed with how they handled unexpected incidents, such as heckling hobos and annoying kids on the tour. I especially liked Chef Rick, who was absolutely hilarious and whose enthusiasm was contagious.
It was very kid friendly, but I don't think adults will be bored either.
For sure one of the best things to do in Fredricton (and let's be honest, there isn't much else), and I'd for sure recommend this to anyone passing through!

With out looking into details what this was about it was not what I expected. It was even better. I believe its ran by students who did a amazing job. Short storys that leave you confused but connect in the end. With comical jokes that run thru story after story. Very kid friendly and as an adult I found very entertaining as the storys about ghost told were very entertaining. Thanks for a great evening !! 5*

Two stars are for the effort of the five cast members to remember their lines and for staying in character while leading a bunch of strangers around town in the dark.

Overall, I was disappointed in this Haunted Hike for the money I paid, and this is why:
It was less of a ‘haunted’ experience and more of an amateur walking-theatre around the down town, in the dark, for $15 per person. It was five characters who took turns walking with the group, telling a story or two each, and jump scaring us a few times. That was it. There were so many opportunities for the actors to use their surroundings (down town has some great architecture which is accentuated at night) and stories to create more tension, anticipation, or excitement during this ‘hike’, that were wasted. The stories were random and disconnected; I was waiting for them to make sense at some point, but they didn’t. I was waiting for when I might actually start to feel a sense of suspense or nervousness, since, after all, the website description uses words like ‘eerie’, ‘spine-tingling’, and ‘chilling’ to describe the experience, but it never happened. Also, since our group was about 20 or so in number, it was often hard to hear the guides as they walked and talked if you weren’t near to front. If you are an adult hoping for a spooky/entertaining experience, don’t waste your money. It maybe entertaining at best for children.

I know they aren't professional, but this was truly terrible. Just walking around, they said nothing about the city, the buildings, and it was all just made up stories, nothing relating to Fredericton. I don't normally leave bad reviews and prefer to just say nothing, but I wanted to explain why it didn't come close to meeting expectations. Other ghost tours I've been on in other cities talk about real things that happened, of course maybe amping up the scary bits, but basically always include true stuff

We went here back in 2019.

This was very interesting, and very well planned. I can just imagine normal people walking around town and seeing these people walking around and thinking to them selfs, "These people are weird".

I enjoyed the activity, and it really shows the history of this city.

Been on many ghost walks and this one was by far the worst one I have ever been on! I like it when the guide gives you history on the city. I don't recommend this tour to anyone!

Great hunted walk. Different preformers lead us around the downtown. Mixing in ghost facts with local ghost stories. You never know what or who is around the corner.

Recommend having a pocket flashlight for the dark areas. Use it only when walking and off when stop to get the full affect.

I was very pleased by the whole thing. I would do it again.
