90-minute Ghost Walking Tour in Bar Harbor
Overview

Mobile ticket
On our ghost walk, you'll travel the sea-sprayed Shore Path, where you might catch a glimpse of a ghost or even a sea serpent. You'll learn the history behind a variety of mysterious local incidents and expand your knowledge of the supernatural with accounts of the three major types of ghosts: residual manifestations, intelligent hauntings, and poltergeists. The weird tales include the strange goings-on at otherwise opulent lodgings like the Balance Rock Inn, the legendary Bar Harbor Club, and several other paranormal hotspots about town.
Marcus LiBrizzi, author of Ghosts of Acadia and Haunted Islands in the Gulf of Maine, two of the authoritative books on Maine's haunted tales, calls our tour "an unforgettable, spine-tingling tour of Bar Harbor’s haunted sites." Join us to discover for yourself.

What To Expect
Agamont Park
Begin at the beginning with tales from the indigenous peoples who once called the area home. Some ancient monster sightings from the Wabanaki Confederacy's oral tradition curiously align with more contemporary accounts of encounters with unknown animals.
The Bar Harbor Inn was the scene of contemporary ghost reports and once the site of a private club for wealthy gentlemen called The Reading Room. One of the club's members, although not really a Ghostbuster, helped pave the way for authentic parapsychological research.

5.00We booked the 6:30 walking tour. Doug (aka Bob Ross) was such an amazing storyteller. We had a very small group (4) so we were able to ask any questions and just chat about everything he showed us. It was more like a walk with old friends by the end. Such a fun evening.
Doug was excellent!...

5.00Doug was excellent! Engaging and friendly. This tour was quite educational, not just about ghost sitings! I wish we had done this on our first day.
Very interesting!...

5.00Doug is very knowledgable about the history of Bar Harbor, as well as the present; he told us about some of the best places to get food and goodies! He's a great story teller and has a good sense of humor. The tour was fun and an easy walk. My husband is an amputee and we had another group member that used a cane, neither had any problem keeping up! It's also ok for kids aged 8 and above, it's not too spooky, but they have to walk and keep up. They also have to be respectful so everyone in the group can hear Doug. We had three kids in our group who were perfect!
Our guide was great. He...
