With its centuries of history, it’s no surprise Boston is packed with haunted sights, though they aren’t always easy for visitors to find. On this nighttime ghost tour, follow a guide to some of the city’s most storied landmarks, such as the Granary Burying Ground, the Boston Opera House, and the Massachusetts State House, and discover the hidden history and spooky sightings associated with each.
This is the on-foot version of Boston's haunted side, and the value is in being led to landmarks that are not obvious to visitors on their own. The listing names the Granary Burying Ground, the Boston Opera House, and the Massachusetts State House among the stops, with the hidden history and reported sightings tied to each. If you like standing at a site while the story is told, rather than viewing it from a moving vehicle, a walking tour is the format for you.
Boston's preservation habit means centuries of history still stand downtown, much of it walkable. A guide-led night walk trades the range of a ride for the ability to linger. Wear comfortable shoes and plan for city streets after dark. Anyone who prefers to cover more ground with less walking may want the trolley format instead.
