New Bern Historic District
Ghosts of New Bern operates a one-hour candlelit walking tour through New Bern's Historic District, pairing documented local history with reported hauntings recounted by lantern light. The tour has run for years, is listed with a substantial local review presence, and departs on a fixed seasonal schedule from a Middle Street storefront. The Harvey Mansion, a short walk from the meeting point, is the operator's marquee stop.
Ghosts of New Bern is a distinct, commercially operated company from New Bern Ghostwalk (`north-carolina/new-bern-ghostwalk`), an unaffiliated annual October fundraiser run by the nonprofit New Bern Historical Society out of the Attmore-Oliver House on Broad Street; the two should not be confused despite both covering New Bern's historic downtown.

The tour's stated centerpiece is the Harvey Mansion, which the operator designates the most haunted stop on the route; the mansion's own reported activity includes a woman in period dress and unexplained silverware movement, the subject of a 2010 investigation by the Eastern Carolina Paranormal Instigators. The operator's marketing describes the broader route as covering "the ghosts who have long haunted our quaint historic district," without naming every individual stop publicly.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing 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.
