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.
