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.

Guided haunted history walking tour of building exteriors

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Julie, especially the extra amount of history of the area. Some of the stories sent chills thru us! We know the haunted places we won’t be staying when we return!

It was ok. The guide was nice, but no real ghost stories , mostly history. As a former ghost tour guide myself, guess I was hoping for more.

We 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.
