Meet Vancouver's very own paranormal investigator and ghost-whisperer Kati Ackermann! In 2006, Kati founded Vancouver Spooks Paranormal InvestigatorsKati and I will be partnering up to host two Ghost-focussed History Walks during this limited 2023 History Walk season:

one, on Sunday, April 16 in the East End/Strathcona, and another

on Sunday, April 23, following the Working Wild Side of the East End route.

The routes and content of these two “Ghost Walks” are the same as my regular Strathcona (Tour #1) and East End's Working Wildside (Tour #2) History Walks with the added value of Kati's spirit-tuned eyes and ears. Kati, who has been on a number of my tours before as a guest, will share with us about the spirits she sees and what they say to her.

Please note that the price for these Ghost Walks will be $40 per person and the size will be limited to 20 people, so reservations are a must.


To reserve a space, please e-mail me at: historywalks@gmail.com.
