Ghosts in North Karelia - Ghost hunt
Saturday 26.8.2023
The ageless event traces homely ghosts and their stories with a playful mind, with humour. Places where the ghosts have been seen in Joensuu, Liperi and Outokumpu can be toured by bicycle, scooter or by walking. You can choose the places marked on the map and plan your own route.
You can find the map online (link to Google map, see the red circles with a ghost figure) or pick up the paper map on 26.8. at 10-14 from the red storage building at Joensuu Taitokortteli inner yard. When you visit these ghost places, you can listen to or read about the ghosts in Finnish, English, Russian or Ukrainian. In some places, you may also see the ghost of the place! Please avoid entering churches and cemeteries during church services and entering courtyards marked as private.
Along the way, you can also visit the marked playgrounds and outdoor exercise areas on the map!
