Description

The Boos and Brews Walking Ghost Tour uncovers Boothbay Harbor’s unexplained past with eerie events told from a local’s perspective. We combine spine-tingling tales told in picturesque locations with a visit to the Footbridge Brewery for craft beer and barbeque! A local paranormal researcher tells ghostly tales about the harbor’s most haunted old sea captain’s homes, Boothbay Harbor’s very own sea serpent, and the spooky legends that surround many of the harbor’s islands. We’ll wrap up our walk on the weird side at the Footbridge Brewery where you can enjoy beautiful harbor views along with a craft beer flight, brewed with all locally sourced Maine ingredients, and Bridge House barbeque. Unlike national corporate chains, Mysterious Harbor Tours is locally owned and operated. No mega-groups of 30+ people. Enjoy an intimate, creepy atmosphere where you can actually hear your entertaining guide.

We’ll discuss some of the theories about the Boothbay region being considered a thin place, starting with the Burnt Island Lighthouse at the harbor’s entrance with its long history of lighthouse keepers—some who never really left the island.
