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.

Learn more about the Ghost Walks on the What to Expect page

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.

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.

  1. Looking for a Ghost tour on the Eastern shore for my Granddaughter and I. She is 12. Anything you can recommend? Weekend in May and decent over night accommodations

    1. Hi Karen. You can book any of our tours on line. Just click on Calendar and you can scroll through the dates. We have ghost tours every weekend starting in April. We’re happy to recommend lodging places if you let us know what town you’re looking in. Your 12 year old daughter will probably love the tours. We get lots of kids.

  2. Hello, I am interested in the bus tour on 26 March, 2017, Haunted Crossroads. A lot of my friends have expressed an interest, but I do not know how many will commit for sure. Can you tell me if you have a lot of openings for this date (how many)? Once I know I will put the word out and get commitments and then book. I would hate to want to book for 12 and find out that only 3 seats are left. Can we bring food and drink on the bus?Thank you very much. Is there anything else I should know other than what you have posted?

    1. Our open house in October was really successful and we’ve had several more requests, Michelle. We’re thinking about one more in December – maybe the second week after we’ve decorated for Christmas. Stay tuned and watch the newsletter for more info. Thanks for reaching out.

  3. Happy Halloween, just to give a review of the tour and guide on Saturday the 29th Oct in Oc with tour guide Mary Beth . my wife and I have lived in a west oc for the past 17 yrs originally from Baltimore. We found the info very informative and interesting. Mary Beth gave a great presentation and made the tour feel very personal. Thanks for a great time….b&b

    1. Thanks so much for the kind words about you Ocean City tour and our storyteller, Mary Beth. We especially love hearing from the locals. Glad you enjoyed the tour and we hope we might see you on another some day.

  4. We loved the virtual Berlin ghost tour presentation at Bayside tonight. Looking toward to going on one of your tours. Since you are into history I thought I’d share this: Being a child from Baltimore I remembered that the original carousel (removed in 2012 due to unpaid bills) in the inner harbor was also hand carved animals very identical to the one in your story tonight …further research has shown it was an original Hershell-spellmall (one of 130 in the world) from 1912 and originally from NY. Interesting (according to their website) it was a sister of the carousel at Trimpers. Thanks for the fantastic night!

    1. Thanks for the info, Mara. I’m going to look that Carousel up at the inner harbor on my next visit to Baltimore. Thanks so much for attending the story telling session. It was great meeting all of you.
