2-Hour Portland Old Port Ghost Walking Tour
Description
Step back in time to the bustling 18th Century port, where shipbuilding, trade, and whispers of strange occurrences at sea filled the air. Known for its picturesque waterfront, historic architecture, and vibrant arts scene, Old Port reveals its darker side at night. Supernatural tales include apparitions, psychic phenomena, and a sea serpent nicknamed Cassie.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Begin with the haunted history of this floating restaurant. Spectral chatter can still be heard in the ferry's former engine room. Does the ghostly crew linger or has a gateway to the past been opened?
Investigate harrowing local maritime legends, if you dare. Consider whether being frightened to death is really possible. Discover why some believe a famous ghost ship continues to return to claim the lives of the particularly unfortunate.
Watch for flying dishes. This ghost is more active than most. Although unseen, it often hurls items off shelves and is also known to enjoy a game of pool.
Uncover the amazing story of legendary psychic Alex Tanous and his work with law enforcement. He claimed his assistance helped solve the Patty Hearst Kidnapping and other high-profile cases. Examine the contents of his declassified CIA file.
Beware the "Jukebox from Hell" that unexpectedly blasts Rock'n'Roll in the wee hours. This ornery spirit does not like to be ignored. What might it do next to get your attention?
Look for the ghostly pair spotted on the stairs. Listen for phantom piano music on the wind. This 19th Century pub's charm persists.
WL Blake Bldg: Paranormal author Nomar Slevik had his own ghostly encounter here.
Art Alley: Alleys become hidden art galleries and cobblestones charm in Old Port. And find out if Portland's most famous son, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, believed in ghosts!
One guest noticed items in her room moving, the closet door rattling, and the TV switching on and off by itself...

What a fun and informative tour. Lots of history given at each site by the tour guide, Jeff. He was absolutely hysterical. Can’t imagine having as much fun as we did with another guide. We are still quoting him and laughing, “brick, brick, brick.” This tour, and the blueberry pie from Gilbert’s Chowder House, were the best part of our visit to Portland. It was a show in a tour.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled Jeff made the history come alive and that “brick, brick, brick” is still making you laugh! We’re so glad the tour was a highlight of your Portland visit. 👻🍴

Very knowledgeable guide - loved the stories told
We're so glad you enjoyed the stories and appreciated your guide's knowledge. We hope to see you again on another ghost walk soon!
Felt like a tourist trap. Unclear about location(we weren’t the only ones who couldn’t find it initially). Our guide knew some things, but didn’t give ample opportunity to ask questions at each location. We walked by another tour a few nights later with a larger group and a man carrying a Lantern and thought- wow that tour looks really fun(I’m sure this was another company). Anyways it just felt a little scamy. Disappointed.
Our tour guide was wonderful. His name is Jeff. He was in spooky character during the tour and was very funny. Really enjoyed the tour.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Jeff’s spooky character and humor made the experience memorable. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with him. We hope to welcome you back for another ghost walk soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that our guide’s passion and knowledge helped make the experience memorable.
