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.

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.

It was late in the season so we were the only two people on the tour. The tour was fun. We enjoyed all the historical details as well as the ghost stories. Our guide was interesting and knew a lot about the area. Highly recommend.

The tour was a nice walk around Bar Harbor with some local legends thrown in. We did it on Halloween, ghost tours aren’t normally our thing but it felt like a fitting time to do it. We really enjoyed learning a bit about the history of the area and seeing some new bits. The group was a bit big, probably because of Halloween! - and I struggled to hear the guide during a couple of bits.
So much fun and interesting

George was very knowledgeable about the Bar Harbor area and knew all the ghost stories. He was also interesting to talk to about his journey to Bar Harbor from Ohio. He gave some local tips on where to eat at the end of the tour.
