Welcome to the home of the William A. Irvin Haunted Ship Tours in Duluth, Minnesota.
LAST YEAR 111 PEOPLE NEEDED TO BE ESCORTED OFF THE HAUNTED SHIP & 37 PEED THEIR PANTS — WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM?
That hint of cool breeze you feel isn’t just a change of weather. Those are the spirits of the Duluth Haunted Ship swinging on anchor just outside your view. The ghouls on board are waiting to morph the William A. Irvin historic freighter into something truly sinister.
This season marks the 30th year of this unhallowed event, starting Friday, October 3, and runs long weekends through Halloween (plus MEA Wednesday, Oct 15).
This year, you can look forward to more activity outside of the ship on Harbor Drive — FOOD TRUCKS (every Fri & Sat), lights, bonfires, drinks available for purchase, and more.
