Chesapeake Ghost Tours Offers 70 Haunted Experiences Across Maryland's Eastern Shore This October

SALISBURY, Md., Oct. 11, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Chesapeake Ghost Tours, a Maryland-based company founded by author Mindie Burgoyne, is celebrating Halloween with 70 haunted experiences across the Eastern Shore. The company, which has grown into one of America's largest regional trails of year-round ghost walks, will offer approximately 70 guided tours and haunting experiences throughout October, inviting visitors to explore the mysteries, legends, and unexplained encounters hidden in the region's historic towns.

The tours will take place in ten historic Eastern Shore communities: St. Michaels, Easton, Denton, Cambridge, Salisbury, Princess Anne, Pocomoke City, Snow Hill, Berlin, and Ocean City. Each tour will reveal the darker side of local history, from haunted inns and restless prisoners to tragic lovers, mysterious deaths, ghostly apparitions, and unexplained encounters reported by residents and visitors. Additional ghost storytelling events will take place in Easton, Berlin, and Clayton, Delaware, providing visitors with chilling tales of the unexplained.

For a unique experience, Chesapeake Ghost Tours has introduced "Ghosts on a Boat," a new offering that combines the natural beauty of Ocean City's Coastal Bays with eerie stories of pirates, restless sailors, and the area's infamous "Haunted Trifecta." These sunset cruises will be available every Wednesday in October, with an additional special cruise on Halloween night, October 31. The cruises will be offered every Wednesday in October, with an additional special cruise on Halloween night, October 31.

Burgoyne's journey into ghost storytelling began with a personal experience. After moving into a house she believed was haunted, she consulted a psychic medium who revealed that the property was home to hundreds of spirits. This experience sparked Burgoyne's fascination with the paranormal, leading her to write four books on the subject and eventually found Chesapeake Ghost Tours. The company employs a team of ten storytellers, including five guides certified through the National Association for Interpretation (NAI), and its founder, Burgoyne, herself an NAI-certified guide, is a lifelong Marylander and Eastern Shore resident whose research and writing form the foundation of the company's tours.

October will see the busiest season for Chesapeake Ghost Tours, with reservations encouraged for Halloween week, weekend ghost walks, and the limited-capacity "Ghosts on a Boat" cruises.
