Fells Point Historic District · The Horse You Came In On Saloon · Fell Family Cemetery · Edgar Allan Poe's final days in Baltimore
US Ghost Adventures runs guided ghost walks in more than 250 U.S. cities; in Baltimore the local-facing brand is Baltimore Ghosts. The flagship walking tour, Baltimore Bewitched: Raven's Revenge, Bones & Ballads, meets at the corner of Lancaster Street and South Broadway in Fells Point and covers about one mile in roughly an hour, with an extended bonus tour also offered. A separate Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl runs about two hours from Max's TapHouse at 733 S Broadway.
Fells Point, platted by shipbuilder William Fell in the 1730s, was Baltimore's original deepwater port and shipbuilding district and retains one of the city's largest concentrations of 18th- and 19th-century rowhouses. The Horse You Came In On Saloon, dating to the late 18th century, is popularly billed as one of the country's oldest continuously operating saloons and is tied by local tradition to Edgar Allan Poe, who died in Baltimore in October 1849 under circumstances that remain historically disputed. The Fell Family Cemetery, a small burying ground associated with the neighborhood's founding family, sits within the historic district.
US Ghost Adventures guides are identifiable by branded shirts and lanterns; tours run nightly, rain or shine, year-round.

At the Horse You Came In On Saloon, the operator recounts local tradition that Edgar Allan Poe drank there in the days before his death and frames a swinging door and moving glassware as signs of his continued patronage. At Bertha's, the operator's account centers on the building's earlier use as a boardinghouse during a 19th-century fever outbreak, framing reported footsteps and a small apparition as tied to that period. At the Fell Family Cemetery, the operator ties reported figures and cold spots to neighborhood founder William Fell.
The operator's broader route material also references the Lord Baltimore Hotel's Depression-era history, when the operator says numerous guests died by suicide from the hotel's upper floors, framing reported footsteps and cold spots in the building as tied to that period; this listing does not name any individual associated with those deaths.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
