Top-Rated Walking Ghost Tour in Manteo

We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide provided us with great info on the area, interesting historical facts, and a few ghostly tales. And I’m pretty sure I caught a ghostly image in a window during the tour! I expected more scary tales, but we definitely enjoyed our tour!

Julia was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything she was telling and also threw in some humor to keep us entertained. This was a very fun tour; even for those who aren’t big into haunted stuff, you still learn so much history during the tour that makes it enjoyable for everyone.

My Girlfriend and I had lots of fun on this tour, which features some great local legends and historical tales. Our tour guide Julia was enthusiastic and did an excellent job of keeping things interesting. Our tour lasted approximately an hour and a half. Would highly recommend it!

We did the ghost tour our last night in the outer banks, we have two sons 11 & 15. We all enjoyed the tour and had a great time. Julia was our guide and she was fantastic and explained a lot of historical info as well as ghost stories. I highly recommend this tour, its fun, it's educational, and it's something different to do!!!

Blackbeard and other Pirates

The Southern Outer Banks, particularly Ocracoke Island, is notorious as the stomping grounds for some of history's most infamous pirates. Notable swashbucklers from Calico Jack to Anne Bonney and Mary Reed, arguably the most famous women pirates, have made a splash in this area, robbing privateers blind and making intricate, sneaky escapes in the inlets and soundside waters off of these barrier islands.

The waterfront and roanoke island ghost ship.

Home » Ghost Tour Locations » Outer Banks Ghost Tour 2 » The Waterfront And Roanoke Island Ghost Ship

The tiny town of Manteo on Roanoke Island is known nationwide as the home of the “ Lost Colony .” At least, that’s what many believe, as the colony disappeared somewhere between 1587 and 1590. The various sightings of The Roanoke Island Ghost Ship along the Roanoke Waterfront may provide the clues searchers need. 

The Elizabeth II floats in the Roanoke Waterfront area as a memorial and tourist attraction. The ship, a replica of the original that brought the fabled “lost colony” to the new world, gives visitors a glimpse into what life was like for these early settlers. 

The Roanoke Waterfront is a peaceful place packed full of stories and folklore. Look into the mysterious beginnings and ends of the lost colony of Roanoke; you may even spot the phantom ghost ship still sailing across the frigid waters. 

Take a ghost tour, the #1-rated in Manteo , with US Ghost Adventure the next time you find yourself in the Outer Banks. 

The Lost Colony of Roanoke

Queen Elizabeth II sponsored the first royal charter to the fabled New World in 1584. It was funded by Sir Walter Raleigh, an English nobleman and adventurer, and was the first of three such expeditions. 

The first journey was a failure, and a small crew, including two Native Americans from the Croatoan tribe, returned to England to gather supplies and settlers for a second attempt.

A second charter arrived in 1585, carrying the English artist John White and his pregnant daughter Eleanore White Dare. White painted the Native Croatoans and the natural fauna of the area. Along with surveyor Thomas Hariot, he mapped the Atlantic coastline for the first time. 

White was elected Governor of this second expedition but was a much better artist than a leader. In 1587, at the request of the colonists, he boarded a ship back to England to secure more supplies. His granddaughter, Virginia Dare, was born nine days before his departure. 

Spain and England were at war when he returned to England, terribly delaying his journey back to the New World. Finally, in 1590, he landed back in Roanoke, only to find the colony long gone. No indication of their whereabouts was left behind, other than the words CROATOAN, carved into a tree. 

The mystery of the lost colony of Roanoke remains to this day.

The White Doe

While no trace of the lost colony has yet to be found, their folklore has continued to grow. Some believe the Croatoans or the Spanish killed them, while others think they were integrated into the Native population further inland. 

If this second theory is true, it would bring some light to the story of the White Doe . Local legend states that Virginia Dare, the first European born in the New World, was captured by a Native tribe. However, in a twist of fate, she was rescued by another local tribe led by a man named Manteo, from whom the town got its name.

Manteo taught young Virginia the ways of the woods and renamed her Winona. She had many suitors as she grew into adulthood, eventually settling on a young man named Oksiko. But her other suitors became jealous, especially a bitter old witch doctor named Chico. 

Chico turned Virginia Dare into a beautiful White Doe and set forth a legend that persists today. Her lover, Oksiko, eventually killed Dare with a magic arrow while trying to reverse the spell.

It is said that the spirit of this elusive white doe can still be seen hopping around Roanoke Island, waiting for her father’s return. 

The Ghost Ship of The Roanoke Waterfront

The  Elizabeth II replicates the original vessel that transported John White and Eleanor White Dare, carrying the unborn Virginia Dare. This memorial to America’s 400th anniversary was constructed between 1984 and 1987 to commemorate the lost colonists and their fateful journey. 

It is an eerie sight at night, as the ship appears to be from another world floating along the Roanoke Waterfront. But, according to local legend, the waterfront is home to more than just one 16th-century ship. 

Since 1709, when English explorer John Lawson visited the Outer Banks, there have been reports of a ghost ship sailing across the waterfront. He met a group of Natives with gray eyes, suggesting a mixed heritage, that spoke of recently seeing a large ship pass through the shallow waterways. 

The Natives, sure the ship would wreck, went searching for valuables. No debris, treasure, or any sign of the vessel was seen during their search. 

To this day, the phantom ship of Sir Walter Raleigh and his lost crew are still sighted along the Roanoke Waterfront. 

The Haunted Outer Banks 

The Ghost Ship and Roanoke Island’s Waterfront are among the most elusive stories in the Outer Banks. The White Doe, the spirit of Virginia Dare, continues to fascinate hunters, travelers, and locals alike. They are just a few of the fascinating tales awaiting you in Manteo and the Outer Banks. 

Take a ghost tour with US Ghost Adventures to hear them all! Our experienced tour guides will lead you through the narrow streets of the historic town, stopping at all the most haunted locations.

The OBX Ghost Tour You Won’t Want to Miss

With all the pirate activity off the coast of North Carolina and the fact that the Outer Banks is the Graveyard of the Atlantic, it’s no wonder that this area is said to be haunted. A tour with OBX Ghost Tours is the perfect way to learn more about this part of NC history!

The Outer Banks is a group of barrier islands on the northern coast of North Carolina. From Corolla in the north down to Ocracoke Island you’ll find popular vacation spots like Duck, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, and Hatteras Island. With great vacation rentals from north to south, you won’t have trouble finding the perfect place to spend your holiday.

The geography of the ocean floor and island chains made this a particularly dangerous place for ships which is why there have been so many shipwrecks off the coast of the Outer Banks and therefore has been deemed the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”

So many stories of Outer Banks’ hauntings come from these shipwrecks.

These days, many people visit for the gorgeous beaches, good seafood, and family-friendly atmosphere. This ghost tour is a great addition to any vacation, though!

Whether you’re a ghost enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to spend an evening, this is the perfect option. You’ll get to explore more of downtown Manteo while learning all about local legends.

What to Expect On Your OBX Ghost Tour

To begin your ghost tour, you’ll meet your tour guide at Duck’s Cottage Downtown Books located at 105 Sir Walter Raleigh Street in Manteo.

The guides with OBX Ghost Tours really set this experience apart – everyone raves about how entertaining and knowledgeable they are!

Speaking of the guides, gratuities aren’t included in the ticket price so if you enjoy the tour then bring along some cash for a tip.

You’ll hear spooky stories and historical tales that are educational for the whole family. Learn about the haunted beaches of the Outer Banks and creepy cemeteries as you walk through downtown Manteo at night.

Plan on walking for about a mile through the streets downtown so comfortable shoes and a bottle of water are recommended. Note that some of the sidewalks can be uneven, especially if they are old brick ones.

Tours usually last around an hour and fifteen minutes and they begin at 7:30 pm. The stories will come from the local history of Manteo as well as ghosts from other areas in the Outer Banks. Expect more historical and educational stories than scary ones.

OBX Ghost Tours actually get you involved in the tour by letting you use an EMF detector – also known as a ghost detector!

Who Should Go

This tour is made for adults and kids of all ages and on their FAQ page, they even rate the tour as PG, so while it might give you chill bumps, don’t expect a horrifying experience. This tour isn’t known to be very scary so you don’t have to worry about younger kids getting spooked though.

Kids will love the entertaining ghost stories and parents will love the historical aspects of the tour so it’s a win-win. Many parents recommend that kids be old enough to understand and enjoy the stories.

Families aren’t the only ones who will enjoy a ghost tour! They’re fun for couples or groups of friends looking for some excitement. You never know what you might see.

If you’ve brought your furry friend on vacation with you make sure to leave them back at your rental. Pets are not allowed on these tours.

Why Take an Outer Banks Ghost Tour

If you’re looking for something different to do on your Outer Banks vacation then this is the perfect thing.

After spending the day on one of the stunning beaches of the Outer Banks, it’s a treat to come into Manteo, have dinner, and then be entertained with tales of the town.

The Outer Banks is a great place for a ghost tour because – whether you believe them or not – there are truly some great stories.

In 1718 Blackbeard was killed off of Ocracoke Island and it’s said that people occasionally see him searching for his severed head. And did you know that Manteo is on Roanoke Island? This was the location of the lost colony which was the colony from England that settled here in 1587 but disappeared by 1590.

A whole colony that disappears leaves behind lots of ghosts!

When is the Best Time to Go

Spring and fall are typically when the weather is great but there aren’t as many crowds since kids are still in school.

Of course, taking a ghost tour in fall, especially in September or October is always interesting with Halloween just around the corner.

Typically nights are still pretty cool in spring and fall even if the days are hot. Summer brings heat and humidity but the evenings can be cool if there’s a breeze. You may want to bring extra water in the summer if it’s an incredibly balmy night.

You’ll find the Outer Banks most crowded in the summer but the crowds aren’t unbearable by any means. Of course, weekends will be more crowded than weekdays so take that into consideration when planning as well.

Winter is the off-season here so you’ll find that many companies close for the season.

Basically, you can’t go wrong in spring, summer, or fall!

Wrap Up: The Top OBX Ghost Tour

There is one other haunted experience you can take, though it’s a tour of a specific building and not a walking ghost tour.

At The Whalehead Club in Corolla, you can take their Daylight Ghost Tour or Moonlight Legends, Lore, and Ghosts Tour where you learn about who could be haunting the building and findings from a paranormal investigation.

However, if you want a walking tour that focuses on the Outer Banks as a whole then the OBX Ghost Tour is exactly what you’re looking for!

It’s one of the best ways to spend an evening in Manteo, learn more about its history, and hear some ghost tales.
