Thanks Kerry K for the great review! Kerry writes: "Steve L was our guide and he was perfect for the experience: He has great storytelling abilities along with an obvious personal interest in getting the facts right. We were told five stories at five different locations. I could see the tour having good repeat value as they apparently have many more locations and stories they can pick from. Very glad we did this during our stay in Wilmington. I'm from New Bern and am now excited to try their sister tours there."

Have you heard the stories that the daughter of a Vice President of the United States haunts the islands and shores of coastal North Carolina? The ghost is that of Theodosia Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr, the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a dual. Theodosia disappeared during a sea voyage in late January 1813 on her way to be reunited with her father. Somewhere along the Carolina Coast, the ship disappeared, never to be seen again. It is thought the ship may been taken by pirates and she may have been forced to walk the plank to her death.Her ghost has been seen on the beach looking desperate to find her way to her father she was on the way to see. She has never spoken to anyone to tell them why she has not moved on to be reunited with father and family in the hereafter. Perhaps she does not know she is dead. She is continuously stuck in the year 1813, thinking her father is waiting for her in New York and she must find her way to him.

It was in January of 1856 that the train wreck that caused Conductor Baldwin's death happened. Thus began one of the most well known ghost stories of North Carolina. The Maco Lights. Thousands have seen old Baldwin's ghostly swinging lantern coming down the tracks towards them. This happened for over a 100 years until the tracks were removed. Baldwin no longer needed to warn others to the danger that cost his life.

One cold and Foggy Christmas Eve in 1899, Captain Harper and his crew of the ship, “The Wilmington”, were visited by a Revolutionary war era ghost ship of Scottish Highlanders. Following their cries for help, the Highlanders led them to a capsized cargo ship just in time to save the survivors from the icy waters of the Cape Fear river. The Highlanders disappeared before the entire crews’ eyes. Returning home to spend Christmas with families, they never forgot about that cold, foggy Christmas Eve on the Cape Fear. Merry Christmas from the Ghost Walk of Old Wilmington!
