Martyrs, Mysteries, and the Macabre

Boston has a unique place in American history.  It’s famous for Fenway Park, legendary football, baked beans , and craft beer – the American Revolution began and was fought on these very streets.  Given that storied reputation, many people fail to see the foreboding darkness that lurks at the edges of the city’s historical working-class surface.

Ghosts have been a part of Boston’s legacy since the very earliest days. Book your tour today to get up close and personal with the gritty stories that make Boston so famous.

Throughout Beantown’s storied history, the city has collected strange experiences and occurrences that defy explanation. As you walk around some famous and infamous sites in downtown Boston, the city’s real history will be revealed.  You will hear about Quaker martyrs who committed to their beliefs only to find themselves paying the ultimate price.  As you explore the area, you will learn about haunted libraries, cemeteries, courthouses, and more.

The people in Boston have charged opinions and strong-held beliefs, and to their credit, they have historically been willing to fight for those beliefs.  But not everyone can win, and those stories of loss, dashed dreams, and tragic misfires, have led to many compelling stories that will thrill and frighten you.  Your trip through Boston’s deep history will help you understand that even in one of the oldest and most revered cities in the country, the darkness of human nature will creep into the corners of the human experience.  When the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, and you feel that familiar flutter in the pit of your stomach, you will know the true terror of the Shining City upon the Hill.

Reasons to take this terrifying tour:

• Walk the gloomy rows of Puritan graves in King’s Chapel and the attached burial ground. Hear the terrifying legend of the innocent person buried alive and their eternal appeals for freedom.
• Wander Boston Common at night , keep an eye out for ghostly figures swinging from the trees. One is Mary Dyer, a famous Quaker martyr, waiting for her hanging by a Puritan executioner. The Puritans hated the Quakers believing they were heretics; when Mary refused to abide by Puritan law banning Quakers from Boston.
• Tour the atmospheric Old Granary burial ground, last resting place of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams . Hear unique insight into the nurses’ horrible story and the infant grave, last resting place of over 400 lost children.

Why is Boston so Haunted?

For a city that played a large part in forming the American cultural identity, Boston also has a discomforting connection to the supernatural.  Boston Ghosts offers an uncompromising look at what makes Beantown such a compelling haunted location.

As the birthplace of America’s revolutionary spirit , many people have ventured to the city in the hopes of being a part of history. What they did not know, though, is that sometimes history deals in cruel ironies.  The blood spilled on these streets in the name of freedom and liberty has left an indelible mark on the area – one that can still be felt today.

Sure, you can read about the tragedy and death that underlie Boston’s legendary history, but experiencing its horrifying truth in person at night will help make you feel like you are a part of the city’s strange and ghastly history.  Reserve your tour today and experience the side of Boston that you won’t see in the history books.

The Omni Parker House

Haunted by its first owner and other notable ghostly guests, the Omni Parker House is considered Boston’s most haunted location . One room in particular has caused so much trouble, terror, and grief that the hotel was eventually forced to convert it into a storage room, lest they risk another guest suffering from a grisly night’s stay in the cursed room. What could possibly drive a hotel to permanently retire an otherwise perfectly good guest room? Discover the details on the Boston Ghosts tour.

Boston Common

This seemingly placid area is the country’s oldest park. For a century of its long history, Boston Common was the site of hundreds of hangings . Not all of the victims of these executions managed to escape the park, even after death. The grim ghosts of the hanging victims are the least of your paranormal concerns in the Common. Keep your eyes open and your wits about you whenever you’re at this park… or else.

Old South Meeting House | Old City Hall

Witness the birthplace of the Boston Tea Party protest and the very American Revolution itself at the Old South Meeting House. This building is of crucially historic importance, but that’s not the only legacy the meeting house is known for. There is a particular specter that sometimes appears. It always acts as a harbinger of impending death. Or perhaps it’s no messenger of death at all, but instead directly responsible for the string of deaths that have befallen the unlucky ones who’ve encountered it. Tread very, very carefully here, and hope you don’t end up seeing this fatal spirit.

Old City Hall

This former hub of Boston’s local government has since become a bustling mixed-use commercial and office property. Because of its historical significance being covered up with the new polish of redevelopment, at least one ghost exacts its revenge for this perceived disrespect for history on visitors. The Old City Hall may be magnificent looking , but watch where you look inside…
