1. Voluntary Participation

I understand and confirm that my participation in the ghost tour is entirely voluntary. I represent that I am in good health, possess proper physical mobility, and suffer from no physical or medical condition that would make me especially susceptible to injury while participating in a walking tour.

2. Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk

I fully comprehend and accept that this walking tour takes place outdoors in public spaces under conditions largely beyond the company’s control. I recognize that the inherent risks of a nighttime walking tour include, but are not limited to:

• Walking in low-light or dark conditions.

• Crossing public streets, vehicular traffic, and interactions with bicycles or other pedestrians.

• Exposure to variable weather conditions (rain, heat, cold).

• (Optional/Humorous) Emotional or psychological distress resulting from scary stories, atmospheric elements, or perceived paranormal phenomena.

I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, foreseeable and unforeseeable, associated with my participation.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the tour, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, and personal representatives, hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless tour company, its owners, officers, guides, independent contractors, and agents from any and all liability, claims, actions, or financial losses for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death arising out of ordinary negligence or any circumstances related to the tour.

I understand that photographs or videos may be taken during the tour. I grant the tour guide the right to use my likeness in photos or videos for promotional, marketing, or social media purposes without financial compensation.
