Our Tours

Our tours begin at Whittler’s Bench on the Southport Waterfront and conclude nearby in front of the city fishing pier.

This 60 minute trip along the Historic Downtown includes spots like the Northrop Mall, Old Smithville Burial Grounds and the Brunswick Inn, one of the most haunted locations in North Carolina.

The Old Brunswick Inn is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young musician lost at sea. Hear the eerie legend of Tony Caseletta and the mysterious happenings still reported within the inn’s historic halls.

Old Brunswick County Jail

One of Southport’s most chilling historic sites is home to decades of eerie encounters. Uncover the haunting legend of Sheriff Jackson Stanland and the restless spirit many believe still roams the old jail.

Old Smithville Burying Ground

The Old Smithville Burying Ground is one of Southport’s oldest cemeteries. Here, the eerie reports of lost sailors, unexplained lights, and the lingering mystery of “Little Buddy” continue to this day.
