Full description
Step back into colonial America on the Ghosts of Boston tour—a 90-minute all-ages experience exploring the city’s darkest chapters, mysterious hauntings, and iconic Revolutionary War sites.
You’ll begin your journey in one of the city’s oldest cemeteries, where mismatched tombstones and disrespected graves may be why spirits still roam. As your guide leads you through historic landmarks and eerie alleys, you’ll hear tales of public executions, legendary pirates, unmarked mass graves, and even a book bound in human skin.
Learn the tragic story of Mary Dyer, Boston’s White Witch of the Common, and the curious case of Reverend Harris, who continued to visit the Athenaeum reading room long after death. Discover how Boston’s founders and revolutionaries made history—and how some have never truly left.
With real historical accounts, creepy folklore, and unforgettable characters, this tour balances chilling ghost stories with deep colonial roots—leaving you with a spine-tingling new perspective on Boston.
