Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
På Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Monument begynder din oplevelse i hjertet af Portlands historiske bydel. Dette naturskønne landemærke, omgivet af arkitektur fra det 19. århundrede, giver den perfekte introduktion til Portlands spøgelsesrige historie og karakter. Gæsterne får en oversigt over turen, sammen med et kort omtale af Longfellow og hvordan hans barndomshjem siges at være forfulgt.
Gould-huset var engang besat af en læge med et brudt moralsk kompass. I dag er dette historiske hus en lejlighedshus. Resident og deres kæledyr har oplevet nogle mærkelige ting, mens de går omkring deres daglige liv.
I Portland brandmuseum, vil gæsterne høre historien om den store brand i 1866, en gang den værste brand i amerikansk historie. Din guide vil forklare, hvordan ilden spredte sig og forvandlede Portland for evigt. Gæsterne vil høre beretninger om uforklarlig aktivitet, herunder mærkeligt grin og spøgelsesdufte. Besøgende kan også se historiske brandmotorer, der tilbyder et glimt af Portlands brandslukning fortid.
Nu en del af Portland Museum of Art, McLellan Mansion er en af de ældste boliger i byen, beliggende langs hvad der engang blev kendt som Millionaires Row. Bygget i 1800, i Portlands "gyldne æra", har denne store føderale stil herregård været vidne til over to århundreder af historie. Det har været ejet og boet i flere fremtrædende Portland familier. Gæsterne vil høre om de spøgelser, der er blevet set og hørt nyde elegante bolde fra årtier tilbage. Nogle har sagt, at det er en ægte version af Disney's Haunted Mansion.
På Victoria Mansion, også kendt som Morse-Libby House, vil gæsterne se et af de mest fantastiske og velbevarede hjem fra den viktorianske æra. Huset blev bygget i 1860 som sommerbolig og udstiller enestående luksus for sin tid. Din guide vil dele historien om dens oprindelige ejere, dens næsten tab under den store depression, og hvordan det blev en af de mest intakte historiske interiører i landet i dag. Gæsterne vil også høre lokale legender om uforklarlig aktivitet inde, herunder fodspor på den store trappe, skyggefulde figurer og følelsen af en usynlig tilstedeværelse.
På Maine Irish Heritage Center, vil gæsterne lære om den varige indvirkning af Portlands irske samfund, fra tidlig indvandring gennem byens vækst og udvikling. Denne historiske bygning, tidligere St. Dominics kirke og skole, forbliver et vigtigt kulturelt landemærke i dag. Men ifølge lokale beretninger, kan det også have nogle vedvarende ånder, med rapporter om uforklarlig aktivitet og flere tilstedeværelser siges at forblive inden for dens vægge. I løbet af årene har flere paranormale undersøgelsesgrupper udforsket bygningen ved hjælp af specialiseret udstyr i forsøg på at dokumentere disse møder. Gæsterne vil høre om disse undersøgelser og bygningens ry som en af Portlands mere aktivt studerede steder.
På Portland Club vil gæsterne høre om en af Portlands mest interessante skjulte hemmeligheder - et underjordisk netværk af tunneler, der eksisterer under byens gader. En gang brugt til opbevaring og bevægelse langs vandkanten. Gæsterne vil høre om rapporter om uforklarlig aktivitet og troen på, at tunnellerne måske stadig er besat af usynlige tilstedeværelser.
I slutningen af din rejse vender vi tilbage til monumentet for en kort opsummering, lokale tips og en chance for at stille spørgsmål.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour with John. He has a true passion for Portland's history, and we're so glad his knowledge and sense of humor made your experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to have you back to Portland again someday!
Very interesting great tour guide
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and your guide. We really appreciate you joining us!
Guide was very good and knowledgeable. Would have been better if we were able to go into some of the sites/buildings shown.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found your guide knowledgeable! We wish we could take guests inside the buildings too! Unfortunately, because our tours take place in the evening—the best time for a ghost tour—most of the historic sites are already closed to the public. Most of these beautiful buildings are open during the day, though, and we highly recommend stopping in while you're in Portland. Thanks again for joining us!
Awesome!! John was a great guide and the tour was fascinating and the perfect length. Definitely go!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and that John made it such a fun experience! It makes our day that you found the tour fascinating and would recommend it to others! Reviews like yours truly help small businesses like ours grow. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you again on a future visit to Portland!
John was an incredible tour guide! Very funny, engaging, and a perfect storyteller! Would have loved even more of a deep dive on some of the spots we stopped at, but we made perfect time so no complaints.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to John—he'll be greateful to hear them! I'm especially thrilled you mentioned wanting a deeper dive into some of the stops! That's exactly what our private ghost tour offers, with more time at each location plus additional haunted sites not included on our standard tour. If you're ever back in Portland, we'd love to have you join us! Our private tours can accommodate groups of up to 30 people, so please send us a message if you'd like more information. Many thanks, and we hope to see you again soon!
They changed the tour time from 8pm to 7pm and didn’t notify us of the change. Under most circumstances not a huge deal but we drove 30min into town for it and had to pay to park for a complete let down
Hi JB, while we can certainly understand any disappointment you felt over missing the tour, we do need to clarify a few things. We sent notice weeks in advance that the tour time had changed from 8pm to 7pm, and you replied confirming the updated time worked for your group. When you missed the tour, we offered to reschedule you for the next available time, but you declined and requested a refund. We graciously provided a full refund to you as a courtesy. We always work hard to accommodate guests and strive to go above and beyond.
John and Patty were amazing. They were extremely informative and made it such a nice experience. I learned so much about the area (I came for a business trip) and had a bit of spooky fun. They were wonderful story tellers. Definitely don’t want to miss this one.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy you joined us while visiting on your business trip. John and Patty truly love bringing the history and legends of the area to life, so hearing that you found them informative and wonderful storytellers means a lot. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the mix of local history, hidden stories, and spooky fun — that unique combination is exactly why so many guests say the tour is not to be missed. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!
Such an interesting and informative tour! Almost like a “normal” walking tour, but with a twist. Not too scary, but definitely saw when some people could be a bit scared. Would definitely recommend this if you’re looking to learn more about Portland history with more spookiness! Wear comfortable shoes too! It’s about 1.5 miles. Easy to find the meeting point.
Dress warm at night! Some walking up hills - fast pace. Great history lesson. Nice suze of the group of people
Lots of interesting stories and good history about Portland. Luke was passionate during the tour and I would highly recommend!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and the stories! Our tales are carefully researched and written in-house, so it means a lot to know they resonated with you. Luke’s passion for Portland’s haunted past truly brings those legends to life. And thank you so much for highly recommending the tour — feedback like yours helps other guests discover us and keeps these ghostly tales alive!
