Ghostly Whispers in the Night

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue over Portland’s Old Port, I found myself drawn to the mysterious allure of the Old Port Ghost Tour. Known for its vibrant arts scene and historic architecture, the Old Port transforms into a realm of shadows and whispers as night falls. The promise of supernatural tales and eerie encounters was too tempting to resist.

Our journey began at DiMillo’s On the Water, a floating restaurant with a haunted past. The spectral chatter in the former engine room set the tone for the evening. Was it the ghostly crew lingering, or had we stumbled upon a gateway to the past? The air was thick with anticipation as we moved on to the Custom House Wharf, where maritime legends and ghost ships awaited. The stories of apparitions and psychic phenomena were as chilling as the sea breeze that swept through the wharf.

Spirits and Spectacles

The tour continued to Andy’s Old Port Pub, where the ghostly activity was more tangible. Dishes flew off shelves, and an unseen presence seemed to enjoy a game of pool. The energy was palpable, and I couldn’t help but feel a thrill at the thought of encountering such a playful spirit. As we ventured further, the tale of legendary psychic Alex Tanous unfolded. His work with law enforcement, including the Patty Hearst Kidnapping, added a layer of intrigue to the evening. The declassified CIA files were a testament to his extraordinary abilities.

Rosie’s Restaurant & Pub was next, home to the infamous “Jukebox from Hell.” The unexpected blasts of Rock’n’Roll in the wee hours were both startling and exhilarating. This ornery spirit demanded attention, and I found myself wondering what it might do next. The night was alive with possibilities, and the ghostly pair spotted on the stairs at Henry’s Public House only added to the excitement. The phantom piano music on the wind was a haunting melody that lingered long after we left.

Haunting Memories

Our final stops included the WL Blake Building and Art Alley, where paranormal author Nomar Slevik had his own ghostly encounter. The cobblestone streets and hidden art galleries of Old Port were enchanting, and I couldn’t help but feel a connection to the past. The Portland Regency Hotel & Spa was the perfect ending to our tour, with tales of moving items and rattling closet doors. The TV switching on and off by itself was a fitting finale to an evening filled with mystery and wonder.

As I made my way back through the dimly lit streets, the stories of the night lingered in my mind. The Old Port Ghost Tour had been an exhilarating journey into the unknown, a perfect blend of history and hauntings. For those who crave the thrill of the supernatural and the allure of the past, this tour is an experience not to be missed. Until next time, keep your eyes open and your senses sharp – you never know what might be lurking in the shadows.
