About
Us
Baltimore Ghost Tours is locally owned and operated, and our tour guides are local actors.
The
Original Fells Point GhostWalk is a Certified
Authentic Baltimore Tour. We are members of the Baltimore
Convention and Visitors Bureau and The
Baltimore Tourism Association.
When Amy
Lynwander and Melissa Rowell set out to research ghost stories of Fell's
Point, they started knocking on doors, talking to residents and bar
owners, and combing through documents at libraries. Their findings were
revealed during the Fell's Point GhostWalk in October 2001.
In July,
2005, they published their first book of Baltimore ghost stories, Baltimore's
Harbor Haunts.
While
researching their book, the duo uncovered stories from the Mount Vernon
neighborhood and began the process all over again to create the Mount
Vernon GhostWalk, which debuted in September, 2007.
What motivates
Rowell and Lynwander is capturing the rich history of these unique neighborhoods
and presenting it in a new way.

Our Tour Guides
Leanna
When Leanna moved to Fell's Point thirteen years ago, she immediately fell in love with the charm and rich history of the area, as well as the colorful characters that roam the streets. Leanna is a talented actress and has held leading roles in numerous local acting troops such as Rosalind in Moon over Buffalo and Annelle in Steel Magnolias. Leanna also pursues acting as a member of the Screen Actor's Guild.
Leanna has been sharing tales of the hauntings in Fell's Point since the Ghost Tour discovered her in 2002. Her eccentric personality and love of all things paranormal make her tours a hit with both skeptics and believers alike. When she's not leading the tour and searching for ghosts, Leanna is usually doing something creepy yet interesting.

Noel
Noel's
family moved from the Baltimore area in 1979, but he returned to
attend the Johns Hopkins University, graduating in 1992 with a BA
in history and anthropology. He left Charm City for all of three
months before coming right back to live while getting his Master's
degree in anthropology from the American University in DC. After
following a woman to Cleveland for two years, he returned to the
same haunted apartment he had before he left, played in an Irish
band, and helped found the Mobtown
Players -- a small theater company that specializes in classical
and new works. Who says you can't come home again? He currently
lives in Patterson Park with his wife, Beth, and two cats, Ariadne and Chelsea, and
occasionally comes out to play in Fells Point. |

Brandon
The Ghost Man is barely human these days. He lives in a house by the woods with five cats and a dog that limps. He does not like television, rarely goes to the movies and enjoys a good story where someone gets buried in the basement. His favorite food is liver, favorite color is black, favorite sound is shattering glass and he cannot wait to take you on the tour of your life.
Do NOT follow him into the basement! |
