Paranormal Pedal
The Paranormal Pedal e-bike tour is the perfect way to get up close and personal with the Boothbay region’s mysterious side and discover why it’s chock full of ghosts, mysterious creatures, and UFOs – oh my! You will enjoy stunning ocean views as we ride along historic Boothbay byways leading to some truly mysterious locations, including Pirates Cove, a forested log cabin village and America’s longest wooden footbridge. A haunting highlight includes a visit inside the iconic Spruce Point Inn, host to the Kennedys, Ernest Hemingway, and more than its fair share of ghosts!
