About

Get ready for a unique evening of ghost stories and Wabanaki Indigenous spirit tales as you explore the paranormal side of this beloved seaport village. Discover the deeply personal stories behind Bar Harbor’s ghostly activity as you hear tales no other tours will tell. Your historically dressed guide will lead you through the darkening shadows, by blue lantern light, to several of the most haunted places in town, including three "hot spots" where our guests commonly capture pictures of orbs and full body apparitions as well as experience other unexplained phenomena.

On a typical tour you will:

Hear at least a dozen stories of ghosts and "spirited" encounters.

Learn about the different types of hauntings and why they occur.

There is NO 1932 Criterion Theatre interior access for 2020 but we will stop at the site within arms reach of the ghosts therein.

Listen to an Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) of a resident spirit.

Visit the Old Burial Ground.

Hear ancient Wabanaki Indigenous tales that may make you question every bump in the night.
