Haunted Bar Harbor Book 2025 Release Date
Back Cover:
Bar Harbor welcomes millions of visitors each year, and the popular seaside town is known for its hospitality. However, not many people know that Bar Harbor is one of the most haunted seaport towns on the coast of Maine, nestled at the edge of Acadia National Park. Ghostly sightings abound from the woods to the waters. Restless spirits like the Carpenter of Kennebec Street and the Caretaker join other souls from the Cottage Era, when people like the Astors, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers made the town their summer playground. Seafaring shadows and those lingering at the beautiful—but very haunted—Criterion Theatre create a space filled with souls both alive and dead. Jennifer Pictou and D. Michael Fleming unveil a mysterious town where the sound of horse hooves can still be heard, along with the apparition of a much-beloved cow.

Our Tours Are Consistently Among The Best In The USA
We are professional storytellers who bring unscripted history to life...and death. We take you to the very best haunted and historic spaces within Downtown Bar Harbor.
All walking tours are about 60-90 minutes and our routes are approximately one-half to one mile. Guests will walk at a leisurely pace that winds through the Downtown Bar Harbor area. Bring your camera and wear comfortable walking shoes. Our weather can change on a dime so rainy/misty/windy nights can be between 40-50 degrees and the "real feel" can be as low as the 20s in October. Check your weather app early and often.
LIMITED THEATRE ACCESS!
* Although we strive to have every tour access the inside of the 1932 Criterion Theatre, we cannot always do so. Entry to the theatre is limited due to live shows, extended movie run times, seasonal openings and pandemics. We do not reduce the price of tours if we do not gain entrance to the theatre.
