Haunting stories of legendary people! Hear about the historical hauntings of Bar Harbor, Maine and dare to walk the same paths that our ghosts still haunt. Written by local storytellers Jennifer Pictou and D. Michael Fleming, this book covers not only some of the spirited places in town but also experiences that visitors, summer tourists, and tour guides of Bar Harbor Ghost Tours have personally experienced. Authors will read excerpts from their new book and discuss the intricate history behind the stories.

Jennifer Pictou is a member of the Mi'kmaq Nation. As a traditional indigenous storyteller, her work has been seen by international audiences both in person, through the internet, and on stage. She has a Masters Degree in American and New England Studies from the University of Southern Maine. Her spirited journey started in Northern Maine in a very haunted, very old, and very active farmhouse where paranormal happenings were everyday occurrences. She sees it as a natural part of her artistic journey to bring ghost stories to light. To that end she is the founder of the award-winning tour company, Bar Harbor Ghost Tours, which has been ranked among the 10 Best Ghost Tours in the country by USA Today for seven consecutive years. Each summer she can be seen on Mount Desert Island when visitors flock to Acadia National Park. There, many children have given her the nickname of The Ghost Lady.

D. Michael Fleming lives by two defining rules: 1) Never work in the rain and 2) Never play in the cold. By following these rules he has spent an admirable amount of time reading books, starting stories that have yet to be finished and gathering trinkets and baubles to decorate his office – much like a magpie. Having put twenty years of optical experience in his rear-view mirror he has moved on to guide for Bar Harbor Ghost Tours, where he enjoys two of his greatest loves: telling stories and the sound of his own voice. The latter of which he has parlayed into a blooming career as a voice artist and narrator. He looks forward to the time he takes the stories yet to be finished, out for a walk, where he glares at the solemnly, silently demanding that they get on with it. His friends and family know him as Daniel.
