The Ghosts & Gravestones "Frightseeing" trolley tour originated in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998 when public interest in the supernatural happening in the city encouraged Chris Belland, CEO of Historic Tours of America, to launch a full blown tour based on the unusual occurrences, apparitions and strange legends of Boston. Exclusive night time access to the famed Granary Burying Ground, where John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams are buried was granted to the company leading to an increase in guests wanting to tour the city at night and assuring its place as the #1 Frightseeing Tour in Boston.
 Seeing the public interest in the supernatural, other cities that have a history of haunted happenings were sought out. Ghosts & Gravestones trolley tours were soon opened in Savannah, Georgia and St. Augustine, Florida which are considered to be two of the most haunted cities in America. Both cities’ tours have seen remarkable increases in guest visitation as the notoriety of the Ghosts & Gravestones’ tour grows.
All three of the tours are unique and customized to the city but with each sharing certain aspects such as the black trolleys, live actors instead of tour guides, and exclusive site visitation. Due to these unique features, the tour nationally has gained such recognition that it has been featured on The Today Show, Sci-Fi Channel and The Travel Channel. |
