NEW! Special "Haunted Lighthouse Tours"

Join renowned paranormal investigator and radio personality Ron Kolek of New England Ghost Project for these special open houses, focusing on the ghostly legends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse and other lighthouses around New England. Is Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse haunted by the spirit of a former keeper? Listen to the evidence and decide for yourself.

No reservations are needed. As with our other open houses, no children under 42 inches tall are permitted to climb to the top, and adults are not permitted to carry children up the stairs. To climb the lighthouse, a donation to Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses of $2 for adults and $1 for children is suggested.

There are 44 stairs to the watch room and a 7-rung ladder to the lantern room. Flat shoes (not sandals or flip-flops) are required to climb the ladder into the lantern room.

Richard Felix has been haunted by ghosts since the age of four, but he does not see dead people. He is frightened of ghosts! So what makes a man who is frightened of ghosts look for them?

Richards' passion for life has always been history, especially military history with a special interest in disasters, e.g. The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Alamo, Custer’s Last Stand, and the Titanic. Richard is a great believer that ghosts and history go together and firmly believes that ghosts exist — he has seen one and heard one, but he still remains firmly on the fence and skeptical about most ghostly occurrences. At least eight out of ten can be explained ... it is the remaining two you need to worry about.

Four years ago he embarked on the Ghost Tour of Great Britain, visiting every county and recording their haunted tales onto DVDs. Richard has now created over fifty of these DVDs. Their success has resulted in them being put into a book which is being sold throughout Great Britain.

The knowledge and expertise gathered by Richard over many years drew him to the attention of the TV and radio media and he has appeared on many paranormal programs. Four years ago he became the Paranormal Historian on the world acclaimed TV program "Most Haunted". He has now completed ninety-nine programs (six in America).

Richards' passion and enthusiasm for ghosts and history have put him at the forefront of the quest to prove beyond all doubt that ghosts really do exist and that there is life after death.

For many years Richard has delivered lectures and after-dinner speeches to WI’s Rotary Clubs. His specialized subjects are: The Paranormal, What is a Ghost, Murder, Crime and Punishment, Executions, the Charge of the Light Brigade, Bonnie Prince Charley, Mary Queen of Scots, Derby the Cross Roads of History, Royal Murders, and Bloodstained Britain.
