FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Limited tickets still available for annual haunted Rome tours, SPI contest announced

ROME, GA. — Tickets are still available for pre-purchase for both Where Romans Rest: Myrtle Hill Cemetery Tours and Haunted Off Broad this weekend. A limited number of tickets for select timeslots will be available at the gate, as some tours have already sold out.

Hosted by the Greater Rome Convention & Visitors Bureau, the annual Where Romans Rest: Myrtle Hill Cemetery Tours and Haunted Off Broad series return Saturday, Oct. 19.

Where Romans Rest: Myrtle Hill Cemetery Tours depart at 10:30 a.m., 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. from Veterans Plaza at the front of the cemetery.

Haunted Off Broad tours begin at 7 p.m., 7:20 p.m., 7:40 p.m., 8 p.m., 8:20 p.m. and 8:40 p.m., and start at the parking lot of the Rome Civic Center at 400 Civic Center Drive.

Pre-purchased tickets will be entered into a special drawing for a chance for one winner to go on a ghost hunt with Southern Paranormal Investigators. The contest winner will be notified and must be able to depart for the investigation Saturday evening.

Admission to each tour is $8 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Both tours are a moderate to strenuous walk with steep steps and slopes involved. Stories are not intended for young children.

Unsold tickets will be taken to the events and sold on-site, but it is preferred and suggested that tickets are bought as soon as possible, as tours do tend to sell out. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Rome-Floyd Visitor Center located at 402 Civic Center Drive. Call 706.295.5576 for more information.
