Dark Water Rising is a shared, adults-only ghost tour designed for guests ages 16 and older. The experience follows the darker side of Cape May’s history, exploring shipwrecks, drownings, and the devastating fire of 1878 that consumed entire blocks of the resort. Guests walk through dimly lit, historic streets while guides share frank, unsettling stories tied to real tragedies and hauntings.

The route includes stops at notable locations such as the Southern Mansion, known for its restless spirit, and the Physick Estate, where one room is said to carry a heavy, palpable presence. This is not a gentle, family-friendly ghost story tour, but an intense, mature experience focused on loss, disaster, and the town’s most troubled spirits.

Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
