Est. 1709 · Beaufort Historic District · Old Burying Ground · Blackbeard / Queen Anne's Revenge wreck site
US Ghost Adventures, a multi-city ghost-tour operator, runs its Beaufort, NC program under the names Beaufort Black Veil Ghost Tours and Beaufort Terrors. The nightly, hour-long walking tour meets outside the North Carolina Maritime Museum at 315 Front Street and covers about a mile of downtown Beaufort, including the Hammock House, the Old Burying Ground, and Cousins Bed and Breakfast (formerly the Elizabeth Inn). The program is independently listed and reviewed on GetYourGuide under its own product name, separate from the operator's site.
Beaufort, established in 1709, is North Carolina's third-oldest town and was a documented base of operations for the pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach) in the early 1700s; his flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, wrecked near Beaufort Inlet in 1718. The Old Burying Ground, in use since the early 1700s, includes the graves of Civil War soldiers and a mass grave for sailors lost in an 1886 shipwreck.

The operator's page describes the Hammock House as a former inn frequented by sailors and pirates, with the operator's marketing alleging Blackbeard killed a female companion on the grounds. The Old Burying Ground is described as home to the ghost of a child who plays with toys left by visitors and to spirits of Civil War soldiers and shipwreck victims. Cousins Bed and Breakfast (formerly the Elizabeth Inn) is described as haunted by an unidentified entity the operator characterizes as possibly a murderer or murder victim. The operator's page also narrates a legend of Blackbeard's ghost ship, Queen Anne's Revenge, said to reappear in Beaufort Inlet.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
