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.

OK but somewhat underwhelming

3.00Tour was Ok, but somewhat underwhelming. Doug was knowledgeable but really didn't get the sense of "ghosts / super naturals" in the area. Allot of stories about locations we weren't at. We have been on multiple ghost tours across the world (probabaly 20 or so and the vast majority of those were far superior.
Crowded tour, very slow

2.00This “ghost tour” had 30 people on it, including a person in a walker and in a walking boot. I’m not sure if we got the regular tour experience, but there was lots of waiting time and it was generally very slow. It also felt like the narrative had been really boiled down.
Interesting and fast moving.

4.00It's fast moving and dark. Bring a flashlight. Doug was very kind and made sure everyone could keep up.
