This fall, add a bit of extra fun to your Halloween celebrations by booking an Outer Banks rental from Atlantic Realty. Our OBX vacation rentals make the perfect home base for any group looking to explore charming towns like Corolla, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head. Take part in local trick-or-treating events or go on leaf-peeping adventures. If you’re feeling brave, explore the Outer Banks on ghost tours. These spooky outings will take you to some of the most haunted places in our region of North Carolina, like the Lost Colony of Roanoke and Old Dare County Jail.
Explore Haunted History with OBX Ghost Tours
One of the best ghost tours in the Outer Banks is OBX Ghost Tours, which are usually offered a few days a week. One of the operator’s knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides will take you through downtown Manteo, telling spooky tales. Lasting roughly an hour, this excursion even gives you a chance to use a ghost detector! This mile-long walking tour is suitable for all ages. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a water bottle.
Discover Spooky Spots with US Ghost Adventures
Another fantastic option is US Ghost Adventure, which has a tour in Manteo. Dive into the haunted history of this popular beachfront town and learn about spine-chilling stories of witches, pirates, and other unknown entities. Your adventure starts at the back end of the parking lot near Ananias Dare Street and lasts about an hour. Tours are held nightly and led by a guide from Pirate City Ghosts. Book the extended tour for even more haunted fun, which includes visiting additional locations.
Create Your Own Spine-Chilling Exploration
You don’t have to go on a guided outing to discover some of the haunted places in our part of North Carolina. Map out your own ghost tour and explore at your own pace. The Roanoke Island Inn is rumored to be haunted by the former owner, while The Black Pelican is said to be haunted by a young surfman killed by a lifesaving station keeper.
