Tour Highlights
The tour kicks off with a visit to the historic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, a grandiose structure that has been the site of world-famous performances and sporting events. But beneath its glitzy exterior lies a history marked by tragedy. The hall is reputedly haunted by the spirit of a maintenance worker who died in a tragic accident many years ago. As you stand outside the imposing building, your guide will recount tales of mysterious footsteps echoing through the empty hallways, unexplained cold spots that send shivers down the spine, and eerie sensations that suggest the past is still very much alive within these walls.
Next, you’ll make your way to Chicken Bone Beach, a stretch of sand with a name as unique as its history. During the era of segregation, this beach was a popular spot for African-American vacationers, who often left behind chicken bones from their picnics, giving the beach its unusual name. But Chicken Bone Beach carries more than just memories of summer days gone by. It’s said to be haunted by the spirits of those who frequented its shores during those turbulent times. As you stand on the sand, you may hear the phantom sounds of laughter, music, and even the whispers of ghostly figures who linger in the shadows, a haunting reminder of the beach’s vibrant yet poignant past.
The tour continues with a visit to Playground Pier, a modern entertainment and shopping hub that stands on the site of the old Million Dollar Pier. Once a glamorous destination for Atlantic City’s elite, the pier now has an eerie undercurrent, with tales of ghostly gamblers and revelers from bygone eras said to haunt the area. As you explore the pier, your guide will share stories of flickering lights, disembodied voices, and unexplained occurrences that have been reported by both workers and visitors alike. The glamorous façade of the pier hides a mystique that will leave you questioning what lies just beneath the surface.
No ghost tour of Atlantic City would be complete without a visit to the Warner Theatre, an abandoned relic of the city’s entertainment past. This once-grand theater, now decaying and forgotten, was a hotspot for vaudeville acts, cinematic spectacles, and countless performances. Today, it stands as a ghostly monument to the past, drawing ghost hunters and thrill-seekers alike. Your guide will lead you to the site, recounting tales of shadowy figures seen lurking in the decaying halls, strange noises that echo through the empty space, and the overwhelming sensation of being watched. The theater’s history is etched into its very walls, with the spirits of former performers and patrons said to linger, unwilling or unable to leave the stage for good.
