Follow your guide's blue lantern light along the Shore Path where you will hear even more stories of ghosts, monsters, superstitions, and burial practices of both the Euro-American and Wabanaki kind.  These  spirit stories are rooted deep within the traditions of Maine towns and Tribal communities, and told only by our experienced guides. Discover the truth behind some popular myths in New England and be prepared for what you might learn. You won't find a Wendigo on this tour but you may discover something else far worse watches you from the forests of Acadia and the rocky Atlantic coast. Bring a flashlight and a friend.

 

On a typical tour you will: 

  • Visit the oldest cemetery in Bar Harbor.

  • Hear stories of sickness, ghosts, and monsters tied to the Maine landscape.

  • Discover the truth behind monsters in popular books, tv, and movie images.
