Overview

  • 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.

Activity itinerary

Agamont Park

  • 10m
Begin at the beginning with tales from the indigenous peoples who once called the area home. Some ancient monster sightings from the Wabanaki Confederacy's oral tradition curiously align with more contemporary accounts of encounters with unknown animals.

Reading Room Restaurant

  • 10m
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.

Shore Path

  • 20m
Ghost stories abound along this scenic walkway as well as spectacular views of famous landmarks including the Egg Rock Lighthouse and Balance Rock. It's also the perfect setting for spooky seafaring yarns, tales of Maine's haunted lighthouses, and reports of a local sea serpent.

Balance Rock Inn

  • 5m
Long a playground for the rich and famous, the history of Bar Harbor’s mansions is steeped in scandal, mystery, and intrigue including astounding accounts of hauntings and one legendary curse. One such haunted estate has now become the Balance Rock Inn once the home of two little girls pestered by an annoying ghost.

Main Street

  • 15m
Working people in town also report brushes with the unknown and the unexplained. Seemingly ordinary shops and apartments have become the backdrop for unexplained events. Even the sky above has been haunted by UFOs.

St. Saviour's Episcopal Church

  • 10m
Pay your respects at the historic graveyard of St. Saviour's Episcopal Church established in 1790. Mainly populated with tombstones dating back to the 19th Century, this cemetery may not be haunted, but is the setting for more than one extraordinary story.

The Ledgelawn Inn

  • 5m
One of the original grand summer estates in Bar Harbor and more recently an inn, Ledgelawn now serves as housing for seasonal employees. Discover the reason a star-crossed woman in white haunts the property. Unlike countless similar specters this ghost has a ghost reason for wearing white.

The Central House

  • 5m
Discover a former inhabitants connection to the Hope Diamond, a possession both coveted and dreaded. This cursed gem has a long history for attracting death and destruction. Learn about the tragedies which earned the treasure its bad reputation before and after it arrived on Mount Desert Island.

Criterion Theater

  • 5m
Like many vintage cinemas and performance venues this historic theater has its own ghostly lore. What makes this destination unique are its scandalous historical secrets as well as its peculiar Silver Screen specters such as the glowing green ghost said to wander backstage.

Bar Harbor Club

  • 5m
Now an exclusive retreat for the rich, this location was once the home of swimming club called Pemetic Lodge. By the 1920s, it became a prestigious private club for the country’s wealthiest men including that most famous robber baron of the Gilded Age J.P. Morgan. In 1980s, the abandoned building became a breeding ground for dire, local folklore.
