For more than three centuries, Annapolis has stood at the crossroads of the Chesapeake Bay, serving as Maryland's colonial capital and a center of commerce, politics, and naval tradition. Its brick streets preserve one of the finest collections of 18th-century architecture in America — and, beneath the postcard charm, a deep well of ghost stories. Ghost City Tours walks the historic district after dark, from the old State House district to the centuries-old taverns and the waterfront where the Bay trade once thrived.

Our local guides tell the true history behind haunted Annapolis — the colonial taverns that served sailors, statesmen, and merchants for generations, the storms and hardship that marked the working waterfront, and the long naval heritage tied to the town and its Academy. These are stories of the people who, many say, never truly left, told on an atmospheric evening walk through streets where the past feels very close.

Ghost City Tours has been telling America's darkest stories since 2012, and Annapolis — a capital since the 1600s, and one of the most storied haunted destinations on the East Coast — is full of unexplained mysteries and documented tragedies still waiting to be heard. Book your Annapolis ghost tour today and meet the spirits that linger in Maryland's colonial capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our Annapolis ghost tours? Here is what you need to know before you join us on the streets of Maryland's haunted colonial capital.

Is Annapolis really haunted?

Annapolis is one of the most haunted cities on the East Coast. As Maryland's colonial capital and a center of commerce, politics, and naval tradition for more than three centuries, the city has gathered countless ghost stories. Its colonial taverns, historic State House district, waterfront, and the grounds tied to the Naval Academy all carry documented hauntings.

Are the ghost tours family-friendly?

Our Annapolis ghost tours are built on real history and well-documented hauntings rather than cheap scares, which makes them a good fit for older kids, teens, and adults. If you are bringing younger children, reach out and we will let you know what to expect.

How long are the tours?

Most of our Annapolis ghost tours run about 90 minutes and cover an easy walk through the colonial historic district, with plenty of stops along the way.

Are these walking tours?

They are. Our Annapolis tours move at a relaxed pace and stop often, so you can take in each location while your guide tells its story. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as the historic district has some cobblestones and gentle hills.

What should I wear?

Comfortable walking shoes are the main thing. Annapolis sits right on the Chesapeake, so the evening air can turn cool and breezy even in summer. We recommend bringing a light layer just in case.

Do the tours run in bad weather?

Our tours run rain or shine, so it is worth bringing an umbrella if rain is in the forecast. In the rare case of dangerous weather, we will reach out about rescheduling.

Do we go inside any of the buildings?

Our tours take place outdoors as we walk the streets of the colonial historic district. We stop in front of Annapolis's most haunted locations and share their stories, though we don't go inside private homes or businesses.

Where do the tours meet?

Our Annapolis tours meet at a central location in the historic district. The exact meeting spot is included in your booking confirmation, so you'll know exactly where to find your guide.
