Ghost Walks on the Lower Shore

BERLIN – Beautiful Victorian town famed for the very haunted Atlantic Hotel (nice ghosts) and Windy Brow.  Hear also about politicians, bankers, eccentric merchants and a “healing tree.”

SALISBURY (NEW) – City ghosts haunting the old government and commercial buildings along the Wicomico River are the highlight of this tour. Some heavy energy hangs around the old Courthouse where slaves were once auctioned and two lynchings occurred. But the energy is happy and joyful around the old firehouse headquarters. The spirit of “Old Rock” is apparently still at home there.

SNOW HILL – Snow Hill is famous for its ghost William Aydelotte, the young pharmacology student whose story was featured on the National Geographic Television Network.  William took his own life and now haunts the Snow Hill Inn.  Hear also about needlework artists, spinster sisters who loved and entertained neighborhood children, Governor John Walter Smith and the mansion he still “occupies” and the Purnells of the River House.

CRISFEILD – A walk through a true watermen’s town.  Hear about seafood barons who still haunt their former home and the picking houses. Hear about the only library in America that also serves as a masoleum. Hear about the “Coasting Captain”- one of the last sea captains to operate a three-masted schooner.

PRINCESS ANNE – Visit the remarkable Teackle Mansion and learn about the results of a study doen by paranormal investigators.  Learn about who haunts the old jail, the firehouse and the Washington Hotel.  Plus so much more.

POCOMOKE – Pocomke – a town on the river has many river and forest ghosts.  This walk goes into the swampy forest (at night) and the guide will tell unnerving stories about what has been seen in that dark swampy forest.  Plus learn of a Sea Captain who walks on water, a helpful ghost in the MarVa Theater and a child in Costen House.
