Johnston County Heritage Center is hosting a ghost walk through Riverside Cemetery, at Front and Church Streets, in Smithfield, on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The tours will start at 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m.. 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Hosted by the Johnston County Heritage Center, this spooky community tradition invites you to meet historical figures from centuries past. This year, five personalities from colonial to modern times will be brought back to life this one night.
A pioneer physician, a socialite and activist, and a Tuscarora Bear Clan Elder, are just a few of the historical ghosts you may meet along your journey.
As you stroll through the cemetery you’ll enjoy chilling music performed by Kelley Garris, Mark Wildcherry, and Todd Johnson on the historic Zimmer organ at St. Paul’s.
You can also stop by the Hastings House to meet author James Parker, who will be signing copies of Ghostly North Carolina, featuring haunting stories from right Johnston County. This family-friendly event is perfect for all ages!
The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Free for children under age 5. You can register online.
