Journey into the shadows of Old Wilmington on an adventure through the Cape Fear region’s most actively haunted locations. Hear chilling tales of ghostly encounters—including recent experiences reported by visitors.

With more than four centuries of history, it’s no surprise that echoes of Wilmington’s past still linger. Those drawn to the darker side can come face-to-face with these lingering spirits on the entertaining and spine-tingling Ghost Walk of Old Wilmington.

Wandering through downtown after dark, guests will uncover often-forgotten stories that shaped this historic city. This educational and engaging tour offers a unique glimpse into Wilmington’s past, revealing what makes this coastal destination so fascinating.

The tour begins near the Cape Fear River and winds through both well-known streets and hidden corners of downtown. Along the way, visitors will explore 275-year-old alleyways once frequented by pirates and privateers, pass beneath ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss, and visit historic—perhaps haunted—cemeteries.

Led by knowledgeable guides who have studied local history since 1978, this immersive experience delivers a captivating look at Wilmington’s lesser-known and more mysterious chapters—equal parts eerie, educational, and unforgettable.

We are Wilmington's #1 Haunted Attraction.
