(Annapolis, MD)Let the haunting begin!  With Halloween just around the corner, Watermark, the premier tour, charter and cruise company, in partnership with the Historic Annapolis Foundation present Haunted Ghost Tours of downtown Annapolis. 

Watermark’s Haunted Ghost Tours take you back to a time of superstition and legend.  Colonial attired guides wind their way through historic, and many say haunted, Annapolis, sharing tales of spirits who linger in the mist.  This special tour takes guests through the William Paca House, into the sick room, and delves into the methods and shortcomings of colonial medicinal remedies.  Visitors will listen to the story of Mary Paca’s niece “Henny” who came to visit in 1765 and met an untimely death just twenty-seven days later.

John Guild, President of HAF said "Partnering with Watermark on the Haunted Ghost Tours is a great opportunity for Historic Annapolis Foundation. It allows the public to see this historic home, experience history first hand and enjoy an exciting and fun evening." 

According to Debbie Gosselin, Watermark’s President, “the opportunity to include the interior of the William Paca House as part of our special September and October Ghost Tours is a real treat for our guests.  Stories from this incredible historic home of one of the signers of our Declaration of Independence blend particularly well in an evening about long-gone spirits.  The house naturally takes you back. We are delighted with our partnership with Historic Annapolis Foundation."

Haunted Ghost Tours are offered Fridays & Saturdays through October 31st at 7:30pm departing from the Museum Store at 77 Main St.  Tickets may be purchased in advance on-line at www.watermarkspecialevents.com or by calling 410-268-7601x100.  Walk-ups are welcome.

About Watermark
Watermark, originally Chesapeake Marine Tours, began by offering a single sightseeing cruise to St. Michaels aboard Annapolitan in 1972.  The company quickly expanded its scope of operations to include its iconic Annapolis harbor tours, Annapolis water taxi service and luxury yacht charters from Annapolis, Baltimore and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The company merged in 2004 with Three Century Tours creating Watermark to immerse people in the history, culture and fun of the area more completely than any tour or charter company – by land and water.
