  • Check your confirmation email for the exact meeting location, as it may vary; arriving at the correct spot on time is crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Ghost Tours Go Inside Buildings?

No, but some of the locations you can visit during the day for free. They simply wouldn’t have the time to focus on as many stories as they do if they were to enter each one, and they wish to focus on the stories, and leave the exploring up to you!

What is the most haunted room?

This is probably a tie between the Andrew and Abby Borden suite, Bridgette Sullivan room, and the Morse room (murder room).

Can children attend house tours? Is there an age limit?

Guests must be 10 years of age or older to participate in the house tours.

What's included in the house tours?

The house tour is the only tour that takes you through all of the rooms of the house. However, to get a tour of the basement, you’ll need to select the extended tour option for each member in your party at checkout!

What's the extended tour?

Most tours offer extended tours, which is a bonus at the conclusion of the tour. This is available at an extra charge. Extended house tours include a basement tour; and evening ghost tours include a tour through the first floor of the house only.
