Walk Bar Harbor’s Shore Path, hear eerie tales of haunted inns and local legends, and explore the town’s supernatural history with a guide.
About this tour
Bar Harbor’s sea-sprayed Shore Path carries more than ocean views: local lore says ghosts and even sea serpents may linger along its route. On this 90-minute Bar Harbor Ghost Walking Tour, follow your guide through the town’s haunted history and hear the stories behind its best-known paranormal hotspots.
Pass Ledgelawn Inn, a grand summer estate built in 1904, and listen for the tale of Mary Margaret, a jilted bride said to haunt its third floor. Hear accounts of strange happenings at Balance Rock Inn and the Bar Harbor Club, and learn how local ghost stories describe residual manifestations, intelligent hauntings, and poltergeists. The walk explores building exteriors; visitors normally do not go inside. Along the way, discover the town’s connections to Acadia’s history and the legends that have shaped its supernatural reputation.
Meet your guide at the Agamont Park gazebo near the Shore Path cannons. Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, and come ready to see Bar Harbor in a different light. Join the Bar Harbor Ghost Walking Tour for a coastal stroll filled with eerie tales and local history.

How the score works and rating distribution in Bar Harbor
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
