Havre de Haunts Tours
I was born in Havre de Grace. The town has played host to some historic figures of fame as well as some dark deeds. It is believed a few inhabitants of this picturesque town have elected to continue to reside in Havre de Grace even after their deaths.
Havre de Haunts Tours and Paranormal Research was founded in 2013 to preserve the history of Havre de Grace and investigate its supernatural occurences.
In October the group offer tours highlighting Havre de Grace's history and ghostly legends. I'm happy to say that I will be assisting with some tours.
My tentative schedule to give tours is as follows -
Fri Oct 3rd at 7pm
Sat Oct 4th at 7pm
Fri Oct 17th at 7pm
Sat Oct 18th at 8:30pm
Fri Oct 24th at 7pm & 8:30pm
Sat Oct 25th at 8:30pm
Fri Oct 31 at 8:30pm
Sat Nov 1st at 7pm
Fri Nov 7th at 7pm
Sat Nov 8th at 7 pm
For a complete listing of tours go to http://havredehaunts.com where you can purchase tickets and learn more about Havre de Haunts Tours and Paranormal Research.
Havre de Grace currently offers festivities on First Fridays and annual parades for holidays like Christmas and Halloween. The city once offered a movie theater dating back to the silent age of cinema. The theater is no longer active, but its spirits are and may provide ghostly piano music.

Havre de Grace - Historic & Haunted
Nestled at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, Havre de Grace is a small Maryland town with a French name (meaning harbor of grace). Its history dates back to colonial days. And anyone raised in the town can tell you that the city missed out on being the U.S. capital by one vote. Instead it has had to make due with the title of decoy capital of the country. To attest to this fact is the decoy museum and a Spring sponsored decoy event.
The town offers the richness of small town life. Its waterfront is beautiful. Parks provide superb scenery that shift with the seasons.
Parades mark various holidays, from Halloween to the Fourth of July. Its quaint main street is brimming with antique shops designed to trap the interest of tourists. The town has supposedly trapped numerous ghosts as well, if tales from its haunted tours are to be believed.
An alley way which played host to a gangster's murder during the age of prohibition is supposedly marked by mysterious red blotches that will not fade away from the street's pavement. The town's old Opera house still holds ghosts that make unexplained noises on the upper floor.
Other historic links concern a resturaunt where Al Capone once dined during a visit to the town and Lafayette trip to the town during the Revolutionary War.
