9 Ghost Tours on the Eastern Shore

Chesapeake Ghost Tours on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is the largest cluster of heritage walks in America. Nine night-time walks  – from St. Michaels to Denton to Berlin and Ocean City to the Great Pocomoke Forest. The walking tours are scattered over 100 linear miles on the Delmarva Peninsula and offer guests a 1.5 to 2-hour storytelling session about the history and mysteries of the Eastern Shore. All stories are based on historical research, and many of the 130 sites on these tours still have paranormal activity today.

Most of the ghost walks feature a nighttime walk through an old graveyard. The walks are all guided by a trained storyteller who is passionate not only about the stories but also enthusiastic about explaining the strange energies and events that happen in this wide-open, mostly undeveloped landscape.

These ghost walks are not “ghost hunts” and we do not guarantee a ghost sighting or a paranormal experience. We do, however, believe that the hauntings are real and that the highly intuitive may be able to sense beings from the eternal world.

Paranormal Investigations

For those who like a more “interactive” look at spirits and paranormal activity, Chesapeake Ghost Tours occasionally offers paranormal investigations where guests can watch actual paranormal investigators use specialized equipment to detect communications from the spirit world. Guests can bring their own equipment and also enjoy a night-time walk led by an investigator through the haunted swamps and forests as well as an “inside” experience in a historic building, mansion, or church depending on the host property.

Ghost Storytellers – Family Entertainment

Each tour is led by a ghost storyteller who will weave the history of the town through tales of apparitions, psychic phenomena and things no one can explain. Every tour is suitable for adults and kids, Except for Princess Anne (no children allowed). The Chesapeake Ghost Walks weave a tapestry of local lore and legend and reveal the rich heritage of the Eastern Shore and the essence of its unique character. Once you’ve gone on a ghost walk, that town will seem like an old friend.

Meet our Team

Why the Eastern Shore?

The Eastern Shore  – that is the land east of the Chesapeake Bay – encompasses hundreds of square miles of rolling farmland, forest, and marsh, and the Eastern Shore is the least developed contiguous piece of agricultural land between Maine and Florida.  The landscape is flat and open with big skies and a shoreline is never far away. It’s an enchanting landscape that has remained largely unchanged since the British colonization.

Tucked into that mystical landscape are small towns that grew up with the seafood, farming, and shipbuilding trades.  They were full of crazy characters, and there is something magical about that open landscape that opens portals into the “other world” and the spirits of those characters peek through now and again. They may meet you on the stairs of your hotel or in a museum full of artifacts, on a nighttime walk through town, on your campsite, on a carousel ride, or in your guest room at a historic Inn.  You’ll be “walking with some of them” on every Chesapeake Ghost Walk.

Make a night of it – If meeting up with Chesapeake spirits wasn’t reason enough to buy a ticket for one of these walks, consider that most of the featured towns are designated Maryland Main Streets and/or Arts and Entertainment Districts and all have gorgeous historic architecture, amazing food, shops, cultural venues, and recreational opportunities.  There’s enough to do to fill a weekend.

Healing Trees and Elementals

Guests on Chesapeake Ghost Walks also learn about “healing trees” and elementals located inside these towns.  Healing trees have a strong energy that can be felt when a hand is placed close to the tree for a period of time.  Healers, or people who use holistic methods of treating illness, will sometimes visit these particular trees to engage with the tree energy. Ghost Walk guides will demonstrate how to engage with that energy.

Healing trees are featured on the Easton, Cambridge, Princess Anne, and Berlin (2) Walks.  One known elemental is present in the Town of Berlin.

ADVANCED REGISTRATION AND TICKET PURCHASE THROUGH THIS SITE IS REQUIRED.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS: While payment must be made in advance in order to secure a place on the tour, a full refund will be given if cancellations are made at least 48 hours before the tour. Cancellations after that 48-hour window or no-shows will not receive a refund.

We hope you’ll join us for some walks this year.
