Baltimore Ghost Tours

Since Baltimore is a city steeped in history, folklore, and crisis, it's not all that surprising that currently there are a number of local ghost tours available, in almost all of the nine regions of the city.

Most of these tours add special tours or elements to their tours in the month leading up to Halloween or have special events on the night of Halloween.

If you're a fan of drinking there are even a few tours that pair ghost stories with trips to the pub.

Baltimore Ghost Tours began in 2001 and is still going strong with six different tours available to choose from.

  • Fells Point Haunted Pub Walk (original)
  • Original Fells Point Pub Walk
  • Fells Point Wicked History Pub Tour
  • Mt. Vernon Ghostwalk
  • Mt. Vernon Haunted Pub Walk
  • Fells Point Wicked History Walking Tour

Their tours range from $14 to $22.

The event includes a tour of the catacombs and the grounds, ' creepy'. music performed by Count Dracula, performances of many pieces of Poe's work, and food and games. Tickets range from $3-$5.

Groupon regularly has great deals on the local tours in the Baltimore area.
