Tour Description

The tour delves into Boston’s ghost stories, murders, and macabre history, giving you a glimpse into the city’s darker past. Your guide will be dressed in period costume, often as a 17th- or 18th-century gravedigger, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Experience Boston's sinister side with Ghosts & Gravestones, the city's only 'frightseeing' ghost tour, offered by Old Town Trolley Tours. Get ready for an entertaining, terrifying, and ghost-story-filled evening led by a gravedigger from the 17th century. You'll see the locations of the former haunts of the Boston Strangler and hear local legends of murder, mayhem, spirits, and ghouls.

Stories of the glory days of Colonial Boston only scratch the surface of Boston's darker side. It is hardly surprising that Boston remains one of the most haunted cities in America, plagued as it is by war, murder, strife, and the occasional bout of stray molasses, a city that has been through nearly four centuries of turmoil.
