Wilmington’s colorful history is more haunting than any fiction…

Walk the shadowy streets and hidden alleys of historic downtown Wilmington. In this unique 90-minute walking tour, 5-star storyteller Steven S. Little brings to life the true tales behind some of the Port City’s most chilling locations, notorious characters, and unexplained events. Steve has led over 500 historic tours in Wilmington, and he has been a local resident for over 30 years.

This isn't your typical, touristy ghost tour. Instead, these tales are firmly rooted in Wilmington's colorful history—stories of ambition, betrayal, tragedy, love, and loss. You’ll explore the haunted happenings that have occurred along the Cape Fear over the centuries -from the early 1700s to the present day!

If you’re looking for a great “Ghost Walk,” I can highly recommend one for you. Seriously, there is one in town that has been here for decades and is locally owned. They do great tours! However, if you and your group are looking for an alternative to the typical “ghost tour,” you found it here.

Here are few examples of the “true tales” you’ll hear:

The Enforcer of Paradise Alley - Learn the “truth” behind Wilmington's most infamous bouncer.

The Great Escape - You won't believe this harrowing (but 100% true) tale of an inspiring "escapee" along the Cape Fear River.

The Celebrity Stabbing - You will know this celebrity, but even locals don't know the true story. I do, because I was there!
