The sounds of soft whispers, music, knocking, the smell of cigar smoke, and a feeling that "someone walked into my room" are common discussions at the breakfast table.

The Tides Inn By-The-Sea sits right across the street from the Goose Rocks beach of Kennebunkport. It is a picturesque, unspoiled beach of silvery white sand and home to sand dollars, least terns and harbor seals. Overlooking it is the Tides Inn By-The-Sea. The yellow turn of the century Victorian inn is also known to be haunted by the spirit of its original owner, Emma Foss.
Emma Foss is the resident ghost at the inn. The Tides Inn By-The-Sea was built in 1899, and Emma commissioned John Calvin Stevens to design the inn. She apparently still has a “hands on” approach to her beloved inn. According to the current innkeepers, Emma will let them know if she approves or disapproves of any improvement made.
