The Original Monongahela Candlelight Ghostwalk - Purchase Here or at the Library

Posted: August 27, 2026

Listen to the true haunted tales of Monongahela as told by originator and author, Susan Bowers, who is a member of our library board, as well. 

Follow her by candlelight as she leads you through Monongahela's darkened streets. See photos of actual spirits encountered over the years. You won't be disappointed!

The Ghostwalks will take place at 7 p.m. on:

Friday, Oct. 9th and Saturday, Oct. 10th 

and 

Friday, Oct. 23rd and Saturday, Oct. 24th. 

The walk begins at 7 p.m. each night as we gather at the Monongahela Area Library. Depending on weather, we will either meet inside the library lobby or gather in the front parking lot. This event is rain or shine. We will have hot coco for sipping and everyone gets a keepsake bookmark. Copies of Susan's book, "Haunted Tales Along the Mon" will be available for sale at the end of the walk. This event is recommended for ages 10+.

A reservation to attend the night of your choosing can be purchased online for $17 (includes coverage of PayPal fees) or in person at the library for $15. Benefits the Monongahela Area Library!
