Do You Dare Disturb the Lore of the Shore?Join us on a Cape May Ghost Caper and uncover the love, heartbreak, glamour, scandal--and of course, death--hidden inside the historic homes and hotels of the nation's oldest seaside resort! On this lantern-lit ghost tour through Cape May’s historic district, you'll hear tales of pale apparitions, bumps in the night, and inexplicable activity along with the history of each building featured and theories about which of its former inhabitants may be the cause of the current hauntings. Equal parts history and mystery, our Cape May ghost tours are perfect for family groups looking for a unique way to explore the shore. What Makes a Ghost Caper?We call our Cape May ghost tour a "Ghost Caper" because we don't just tell a few spooky stories--we get up close and personal investigating the spirits central to Cape May's most famous hauntings. Based on extensive research through hundreds of historical documents, our walking ghost tour is as educational as it is eerie, and is a great way to get to know more about the people and places of the past that shaped the Cape May of today. The stories on our ghost tour trace Cape May's development from its early colonial days of plantations, through its role in the Civil War, to its heyday as a fashionable resort in the late 19th to early 20th century, and show how the spirits of those who called Cape May home then are still present now . . . in more ways than one.
