Why you’ll love this…
  • Traverse Boston's oldest neighborhoods and hear about the lost souls still trapped between worlds
  • Walkthrough uneasy graveyards where the bodies have been moved, dug up, or lost altogether, and learn the stories of their unquiet dead
  • Hear tales of Boston's lost souls, from the perpetually burning victims of a gas explosion to a spectral woman in the Common who whispers to children
  • Get firsthand accounts of hauntings residents and visitors have experienced and explore Boston's most haunted sites
What to expect

Embark on a spine-tingling journey through Boston's haunted history starting at Boylston Street Station, the site of a tragic gas explosion linked to unearthed graves. Wander through the Central Burying Ground and Boston Common, where tales of unmarked graves and brutal executions abound. Guard your little ones closely; the spirits here are said to linger.

Venture into the Boston Athenaeum, home to a macabre book bound in human skin, and feel the eerie presence that pervades its halls. Continue to the Granary Burying Ground to uncover stories of America's revolutionary founders who some believe still haunt this resting place.

Explore the King’s Chapel Burying Ground, notorious for its forgotten souls and a chilling tale of a man buried alive. His desperate scratches are rumored to be heard on quiet nights.

Take a detour to the Omni Parker House, Boston’s most haunted hotel, where spectral encounters are reported across its storied floors. Learn about a deceitful photographer who exploited the city's ghostly reputation, and visit the Old State House, housing a cursed artifact linked to historical suffering.

Hear tales of the supernatural panic during an 1800s tuberculosis outbreak at the site of the Boston Massacre. Near Fort Warren and the Pilot House, discover the legends of the vengeful Lady in Black and the enigmatic Lady in White.

Conclude your eerie exploration at the Old North Church, built over a crypt where the dead are restless.
