This building was originally built in 1814 and has changed hands more times than a sailors eaten a bowl of clam chowder. And that’s most likely due to the ghosts that haunt the joint.
This old building dates back to 1815 and in its heyday it once housed one of most popular brothels in the city.
Built in 1749, this is pre-revolutionary building is one of the oldest still standing in Portsmouth. Below its foundation once ran the underground tunnel system that secretly connected many of the buildings in Portsmouth.
The burial ground is said to be the largest of its kind in the United states and it’s believed that over 200 people from the African American community were buried here.
Originally built in 1785 The Rockingham was once one of the most prestigious hotels in New England. It welcomed the likes of presidents Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, Ulysses Grant and the author Mark Twain.
Originally built in 1758 the old John Paul Jones house holds more ghosts than a than a Maine boat holds lobsters. Some say old John Paul Jones lingers in the room he once slept. Others have seen an angry spirit opening cabinets and slamming doors.
Over the past century world renowned acts have graced its halls including the magician Harry Houdini, gun swinging Buffalo Bill Cody and that clever fella Mark Twain. The shows were so good that the ghosts decided to stick around.
The Brewery is not only one of the best spots in Portsmouth to get a drink and a burger while in town. It’s also haunted by a flirty ghost of the night.

A fun tour! Make sure you have a fully charged phone. Best to do in the cooler morning hours or early evening.
I don’t think this was intended, but I found the ghost tour really campy, in a fun way! For the price, it is 100% worth it, it takes you on a nice loop around downtown Portsmouth.
Super spooky, fun, and surprisingly humorous! Will recommend to family and friends!
What a fun and informative walking tour of Providence Rhode Island. Lots of stories with humor intermingled. I liked that you can stop and start easily to enjoy shops and beverages along the way.
Great tour easily navigated and really fun . Most interesting discoveries that we never would have seen on our own . We would definately do another tour
Paying for the walking tour was easy but getting access to the tour was very frustrating and cumbersome. It wasn't very clear that you needed to download a second app to access the tour.
This was a different spin on a tour throughout the city because it was self guided. We were able to skip around and even stop for browsing in stores and eating, then resuming the tour. The bits about each location was interesting.
I enjoyed the self guided tour through Portsmouth, NH. I did find it a little bit confusing with the directions at times.
This was a fun way to explore the city and to learn a lot about the history of Portsmouth. We learned so much and the the ghost story is, we just added fun! It’s a great way to walk around and learn the history and stop and pause to go in anywhere you want along the way. Just a heads up the bar at the end is permanently closed. Apparently they experience some bad flooding and just couldn’t keep up to code with the bills. Sad. It looked like it would’ve been a fun way to end the tour. I feel for the owners.
For the price this is a great value. Portsmouth has a charming extensive history. This tour provides a guided walking tour of some notable historic buildings that I have certainly missed on previous visits. The haunted aspects provide an effective way to learn local lore, historical importance and focus. Who knew that Portsmouth was integral in the Underground Railroad. The tour is about an hour and an exceptional value. I’ll look forward to more self guided walkntours while I visit other cities!!
