The Chesapeake Ghost Tour team includes storytellers, tour guides, and administrative staff. The company was founded by Mindie Burgoyne in 2014. She wrote and designed all of the tours and provided training for the storytellers. Occasionally, Mindie still does a ghost tour when a fill-in is needed.
Our guides were avid history and /or paranormal fans before they joined our team. Six of the guides earned their certification from the National Association of Interpretation as Certified Interpretive Guides – CIG™ which is the national standard for interpretation. Our guides are some of the most committed, friendly, and knowledgeable people you’ll ever meet, and they each could entertain you for hours with their storytelling capabilities.
