Gotta love a fun and spooky history tour that ends at a brewery! - I love the storytelling part of Mysterious Harbor Tours! Lisa Matthews, owner and guide, recreates local and other spooky and paranormal happenings in an entertaining and compelling way. Her fact-finding and research into local, regional, and state-wide is obvious when she is telling the stories. She brings the stories to life using local coverage and accounts of mysterious happenings based on first and second-hand experiences. She also clearly loves the area and wants visitors to enjoy it, too. She is ready to answer questions and suggest local opportunities along the route of each interesting tour. I’m looking forward to hearing more stories with Mysterious Harbor Tours!

Fun Spooky Tour - Lisa was a great tour guide and had genuinely spooky stories to tell, drawing on both historical and personal source material. She kept an eye on the weather and helped us reschedule to avoid a thunderstorm, which we appreciated especially because some ghost tours go rain or shine (looking at you, Salem). This is a great way to get to know Boothbay Harbor, and you can't go wrong with either featured watering hole (Footbridge Brewing or Neat). Highly recommend!
