This special Halloween themed tour is a combination of tricks and treats! Come in costume and take home a treat bag! This special tour takes place just once a year and is a long time favorite of returning guests! Portsmouth is one of the very best places in New England to get into the Halloween spirit and on this special night - towards the end of the tour the amazing Portsmouth Halloween parade goes by. (The parade has been called one of the top ten Halloween parades in the country!) This tour gives you a magical blend of specters and celebration. Be sure to book early, as this tour always sells out well in advance!
Join the author of the bestselling book Haunted Portsmouth, Roxie J. Zwicker for an evening walk to some of the most historic and haunted locations in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. From the chills of haunted theaters, to the thrills of Portsmouth’s hidden history and exquisite architecture, you’ll be talking about this tour for months to come.
Join us for a walk to “Haunted Corner,” an area with 4 actively haunted buildings just steps from each other.
Visit the site of the worst fire in New Hampshire history and learn the strange truth behind it.
Discover where you might be able to share a room with the local spirits.
The walk is filled with fascinating facts about Portsmouth, the “City of the open door,” and little known history as well, woven with intriguing, true ghost stories as shared by the locals who live and work in these places.
Visit the site where a forgotten 18th century cemetery was discovered during city construction about 12 years ago!
In about 90 minutes we will span hundreds of years back through time for a most memorable experience visiting 13 of the city’s most active downtown haunts.
$24 for adults
