OBX Ghost Tours

OBX Ghost Tours runs a walking tour through downtown Manteo, based on Queen Elizabeth Avenue right in the heart of the town's Shallowbag Bay waterfront district. Roanoke Island carries centuries of layered history to draw on: the still-unresolved disappearance of the 1580s Roanoke Colony, generations of maritime trade and shipbuilding, and a downtown that has been rebuilt and repurposed more than once over the years. It's the kind of backdrop that lends itself naturally to an after-dark history walk.

Because the tour covers ground on foot through Manteo's compact, walkable downtown, it works well as an evening activity for visitors already based near Shallowbag Bay — something to do once the waterfront shops and restaurants wind down for the night. As with most tours built around local history and ghost stories, plan on it running after dark rather than during the day.

OBX Ghost Tours doesn't have pricing or a set schedule on file here, so call (252) 305-2976 or check the company's website directly for current tour times, meeting location, and booking details before you go.
