It’s not a “jump out and scare you” experience or a pure ghost hunt, says Mimi O. of Princeton Tour Co. The tour starts with a walk through the Princeton University campus where guests use official ghost hunting equipment at an unmarked grave and Revolutionary battlefield. After the campus visit the tour heads to surrounding historic neighborhoods and ends at a stop at the Princeton Cemetery.
