Dean’s fundraiser- Ghostly walk in Vienna

There is a committee at my husband’s work that needs to raise some serious money.  Everyone has been brainstorming on possible fundraisers.
An idea hit my husband.  He remembered all the fun “Guided Ghost walks” we took friends and family on in York England.  Why not do one in Vienna?  Surely there are plenty of ghost stories in such an ancient city.  He proposed the idea and went to work.
The work was rather intensive.  Read German stories of hauntings and spirits, translate them into English, work them into a do-able walkable route,  (His first planned route took him one hour of walking to visit all the buildings he had chosen. Not a route a crowd would want to do on a cold night) publicize event, then finally tell the stories to a crowd of people in a hearable entertaining way.
The project was a huge success!  50 people came, at 10 a head his fundraiser contributed 500euros to the committee.
The Guided Ghost Walk has been applauded by everyone attending.  And they are begging for more.  These photos were taken by a friend who attended the walk.  Sadly I was in England at the time and missed it.

Holding them spellbound
There have been requests for a kid free one with really scary stories.
