The Haunted Ocean City Ghost Walk

Walk the old historic district of Ocean City and hear your storyteller recount over a dozen ghost stories featuring spirits that still linger in the old buildings and hotels. Ocean City also features a property that hit the "Haunted Trifecta" - a murder, suicide, and accidental death occurring at the same location.

There's a child spirit at the life-saving station, a young man at the Tarry-A-While, a crazy lady at Dolle's Candyland, jazz musicians at the Henry Hotel.

This tour runs in a loop from the Ocean City Life Saving Station to Inlet Park It is approximately an hour and 50 minutes of scary stories about spirits, paranormal events, and Ocean City's mysterious history. 

Join us and learn the stories.

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT GO INSIDE THE PROPERTIES.  This is a ghost walk where stories of hauntings and unexplained events are shared while standing outside the property. This is not a paranormal investigation and we do not guarantee ghost sitings.  We do, however, offer paranormal investigations in nearby Snow Hill.
