Overview
As the sun sets over the Navesink River, the charming streets of Red Bank undergo a chilling transformation. On the Red Bank Ghost Tour, you will step away from the boutique shops and fine dining to explore a town where colonial history and modern hauntings collide. Known as the Requiem of the Reaper tour, this haunted history tour is the city’s top-rated paranormal experience, blending meticulously researched facts with bone-chilling local lore.
Red Bank is a town of "mischievous spirits" and hidden tragedies. From the phantom residents of the historic Dublin House to the unexplained shadows in the First National Bank Building, US Ghost Adventures expert guides will lead you through the most active hotspots in the district.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident of Monmouth County or a visitor searching for the best ghost tour near me, this experience offers a unique, lantern-led perspective on the "darker side" of one of New Jersey's most beloved towns.
