Overview

The Spooks and Spirits Walking Ghost Tour unveils Boothbay Harbor’s eerie side from a local’s perspective. We've combined some goosebump-inducing stories told in historic locations with a visit to Neat, speakeasy and whiskey bar! A local paranormal researcher regales you with tales about the Boothbay Opera House—widely regarded as Maine’s most haunted building, an old sea captain’s house with poltergeist activity, and local UFO encounters. We’ll wrap up our supernatural stroll at Neat for a classic or adventurous cocktail to toast our trip to the other side.

Unlike national corporate chains, Mysterious Harbor Tours is locally owned and operated. No mega-groups of 30+ people. Enjoy an intimate, creepy atmosphere where you can actually hear your entertaining guide.
