Ghosts and Gravestones Tour of Boston

Step aboard the trolley of the doomed... and join your host, a 17th Century grave digger, cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation. Overview: This wretched creature is doomed to travel the streets of Boston and relay the stories of the unfortunate souls he has encountered and the macabre events he had been witness to during his sentence. The tour involves a whole cast of characters to lead you on an adventure through the darker side of Boston. A scary, fun and informative fright seeing experience that is truly one of a kind. Hear about Boston's most sinister characters, from the Angel of Death to the king of all killers, the Boston Strangler. Learn about all the haunts that call the "Hub" their home. But that’s not all! Step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston for a walking tour you will never forget. Stroll through Copp's Hill Burying Ground- site of Boston’s largest grave robbing scandal. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his "intimate" involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then follow your guide across Boston Common- site of public hangings long ago- into the Old Granary Burying Ground and view the gravestones of the famous and not so famous (but far more interesting) occupants therein.
