FAQ - Best Ghost Tour in Bar Harbor

Why Bar Harbor Ghost Tours Is Different

• Bar Harbor has become one of New England’s most popular destinations for ghost tours. Visitors come from across the country to explore the town’s haunted history, Gilded Age mansions, and mysterious local legends.

• But not all ghost tours are the same.

• Bar Harbor Ghost Tours was founded with a different purpose: to share the region’s haunted history with historical integrity, cultural responsibility, and respect for the stories that belong to this place.
