1. Outer Banks Ghost Tours
With as much history as the Outer Banks has lying behind every corner, thereâ??s no doubt that there are also a fair share of ghosts lurking in the shadows, as well. Outer Banks Ghost Tours brings these stories to life and tells the tales of the ghosts who have haunted Manteo for years, guiding participants in their footsteps along a spooky, yet leisurely walking ghost tour. A family-friendly tour that takes approximately 90 minutes is a sure bet to bring chills up your spine while enjoying an easy-going evening walk through the beautiful, yet haunted, town of Manteo.
2. Evening Lantern Tours â?? Victorian Death Rituals
Walk the grounds of Island Farm, one of the oldest homesteads on the Outer Banks, on the nights of October 31st and November 1st to experience first-hand what it was like to go through the grieving process more than 200 years ago on that very same location. Historically authentic and guaranteed spooky, this tour lasts about 20 minutes and is led by a full-costumed cast. For more information, click: here.

Infamously known, this haunted trail leads participants through marshlands and â??desertedâ?? fields, with surprises and unexpected visitors lurking around almost every turn. Bring a friend to hold on to and be prepared to be scared, as the Wanchese Woods Haunted Trail is known to be one of the scariest haunted attractions on the beach.
4. Psychopath by The Lost Colony
Performed by cast members of The Lost Colony, Psychopath is one of the scariest tours you will encounter on the Outer Banks. The haunted walk traverses across Roanoke Island, meandering through the woods, stepping in and out of buildings, and continuing along the boardwalk, all while retracing the steps of the men, women and children who mysteriously vanished from the island more than 400 years ago.
