Welcome To Easton Ghosts
From the ghostly apparitions at the historic Tidewater Inn to unexplained footsteps in the old Talbot County jail, this Eastern Shore town is no stranger to the otherworldly. Whispers of long-dead judges, phantom piano music, and spirits that refuse to rest continue to haunt Easton’s brick-lined streets, and Easton Ghosts reveal their tales tonight.
Dramatic Phantoms Steal The Spotlight
One of the town’s most revered attractions, the Avalon Theater hosts more than family-fun entertainment. Open since 1921, the building is home to a legend that won’t die, and a spirit that won’t leave. Behind the glow of the marquee and the charm of its restored interior, stories swirl of eerie encounters, cold spots, and a ghostly presence that prefers the elevator.
Venture with Easton Ghosts to the notoriously haunted Avalon Theater and learn about one particular ghost that continues to make themselves known to staff and patrons alike. Ghostly encounters include phantom footsteps echoing through the empty aisles, and lights that flicker without explanation.
Some say the spirit belongs to a performer who never took their final bow, while others insist it’s a former employee still clocking in from beyond the grave. Who is the popular soul that has yet to exit stage left? Find out on a frighteningly fun ghost tour with Easton Ghosts.

Easton’s Most Haunted

A secretive undertone permeates the walls of the Odd Fellows building, where a ghostly presence rides the elevator all throughout the night.
