Tour Highlights
Our journey begins at one of Baltimore’s most infamous haunts, Max’s Taphouse. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Fells Point, this 19th-century institution has long been a hub for eerie encounters. Patrons and staff alike have reported unexplained phenomena, from disembodied laughter echoing through the empty bar to the sound of footsteps when no one is there. Flickering lights and sudden drops in temperature only add to the atmosphere of mystery that surrounds this beloved tavern. As you stand in the shadow of Max’s Taphouse, you can almost feel the spectral presence of those who came before, their stories lingering like a whisper in the night.
Just a short walk away, nestled in the historic streets of Fells Point, lies Bertha’s, a restaurant famous for its mussels—and its ghosts. The building, dating back to the 1700s, has its own collection of paranormal tales. Employees have reported seeing shadowy figures darting across the walls, and the inexplicable sound of furniture being moved has filled the stillness of the night. The spirit of a woman dressed in period clothing is said to wander the dining rooms, her presence adding a spectral charm to this iconic establishment. As you listen to these eerie tales, you’ll find yourself glancing over your shoulder, wondering if the past is closer than you think.
Our tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Fell Family Cemetery, a quiet and unassuming resting place that harbors its own ghostly secrets. This historic cemetery is the final resting place of the Fell family, who played a crucial role in the development of Fells Point. But it’s not just the history that draws visitors here; it’s the feeling of being watched, the sense that you’re not alone among the graves. Some have even reported seeing ghostly figures moving silently among the tombstones, their presence sending a chill down the spine. The eerie silence of the cemetery is only broken by the soft rustling of leaves, creating an atmosphere that is both peaceful and unsettling, especially as twilight descends.
No exploration of Fells Point’s haunted past would be complete without stopping at The Horse You Came in On Saloon. As the oldest continually operating saloon in America, founded in 1775, it’s steeped in history—and ghostly lore. This iconic bar is rumored to have been the last place Edgar Allan Poe visited before his mysterious death, and many believe his spirit still haunts the establishment. Staff have reported objects moving on their own and cold spots that appear out of nowhere, signs that Poe’s restless spirit may still linger within these historic walls. As you step inside, you’ll feel the weight of history—and perhaps something more—as the stories of the past come alive in the flickering candlelight.
