    Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the places she showed our group. It was a nice night to be out and the stories were fun to hear. We didn't see any apparitions but we looked!! It is fun to hear the history in this way and she made it more interesting.

    We so enjoyed the American Ghost Walk with our host Julee at Boothbay Harbor last Saturday night. It was a last-minute find and decision to do the ghost walk and it turned out to be the highlight of our mini vacation up there! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Boothbay and the stories and legends behind the ghost came to life when she told them. I would highly recommend doing this while you’re up there. We’re already planning our next trip and our next ghost walk😊
