Julia was phenomenal as our tour guide. It was nice to have a guide that is a local and knows the history of the area. Didn’t have any encounters, but it was still cool to hear the stories! Shamus was a nice bonus to the tour as well!

I have attended ghost tours in Savannah, so that was the bar for this tour. The tour guide was a good actor but we didn’t hear too many ghost stories. Just walked around watching her act, kind of like a one act walking comedy show. Guess Manteo doesn’t have too many ghosts.
It really isn’t fair to compare with Savannah, ghost capital of the US.
