You’ll have an exclusive opportunity to visit the final resting places of some of the city’s most prestigious residents – many whose ghosts have been seen on the grounds. The tour takes you to two of the city’s oldest cemeteries including King’s Chapel Burying Ground, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground or Granary Burying Ground. Don’t be surprised by the eerie sensation that overtakes you as you walk amongst unmarked graves and hear the accounts of those who were buried alive.

Through the years, there have been numerous accounts of paranormal activity, strange sounds and unexplained orbs of light. Some of the mysterious sights are said to be Harvey Parker, the hotel’s owner whose ghost has been seen roaming the halls, walking through walls and even appearing at the foot of the bed in several rooms. Other ghostly encounters could belong to other spirits attached to the iconic hotel, including the man who committed suicide there in 1949 and five students who were accidentally killed on the grounds in 1770.

Considered by many to be the most haunted place in the city, Boston Common is where public hangings were held until 1817 and where many Boston inhabitants who were executed or witnessed them are rumored to still be hauntingly present. You’ll hear the accounts of the two 19th century women whose spirits have been seen walking down the street and the ghost of the young woman dressed in black.

The Gravediggers are Boston history experts who love to share and scare. They do more than act out their part, they assume the personality, style and dress of their characters. From the moment you meet them in their costumed attire, you’ll feel you’re in the company of a cursed privateer, a deranged nanny, a homicidal opera diva, a pyromaniac circus ringleader – or whoever you are lucky enough to be guided by that night.

There’s no better way to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve than on the Trolley of the Doomed. Wear your costume and enjoy a night of apparitions, frightening accounts of murder, mysterious sights, chilling sounds and more. Of course, any time is a good time for a Ghost Tour; so Boston’s Ghosts & Gravestones is ready to transport you to the next dimension April through October.
