Full description

  • Kaler's Restaurant: Strange sounds often emanate from the floor above after all the shops have closed. Is someone still taking a carriage out for a midnight ride?
  • The Admiral's Quarters: What is now Room #10 was formerly George’s office, until he died there. However, there have been several strange occurrences over the years that indicate he never really left.
  • Tugboat Inn Restaurant: Built from the remains of a tugboat that formerly worked the New England coast, employees of this unique restaurant on occasion claim to see a ghostly captain at the wheel.
  • Captain Sawyer’s B&B: On some nights, long-dead Minnie Sawyer appears on the widow’s walk. Is she still searching for someone long-lost?
  • Opera House: Widely known as the most haunted place in Boothbay Harbor, the Opera House has hosted the famous and the dead. The storied venue is said to house many different spooks.
  • The Thistle Inn: Although he left a frightful first impression on the new innkeeper, the cantankerous spirit believed to be a man named Samuel Miller appears to have mellowed over the years. In fact, this surly sea captain has proven to be quite protective.
