This was stunningly awful. It was comical how bad it was. The poor student tour guide was abysmal in managing a large group, projecting his voice, acting interested, and knowing the material. It could have been an SNL skit in how bad it was. The fellow grandma tourist from Middletown, WI wuld have done a better job reading the script blind than our tour guide. There was virutally no paranormal or ghost stories besides a few people died in the capitol building during construction and the tour guide's fellow students once felt cold there. To the tour guide's credit, this is the fault of the company -- not the student who couldn't care less about ghosts trying to earn money for a summer job.
