Beaufort Ghost Walk

About Beaufort Ghost Walk

Beaufort Ghost Walk is a guided storytelling tour through historic Beaufort that explores the town's documented history alongside its darker coastal folklore. Led by costumed pirate guides, the experience weaves together tales of Blackbeard, shipwrecks, epidemics, and the Graveyard of the Atlantic with stories of sailors, soldiers, merchants, and families whose lives shaped the community. Visitors walk the same streets where these historical figures lived, learning why porch ceilings were painted haint blue, what the marsh remembers, and discovering forgotten graves and mysterious deaths. The tour blends sourced local history with live performance, revealing tragedies, legends, and the people time nearly erased. Rather than stopping at individual haunted locations, the town itself becomes the story. The experience lasts one hour and thirty minutes and suits visitors interested in regional history, folklore, and atmospheric storytelling. The tour takes place in Beaufort, North Carolina.
