This is self-guided, which is the key difference from most ghost tours: there is no live guide setting the pace or performing the stories, so you move through the sites on your own schedule. That suits independent travelers, budget-minded visitors, and anyone who prefers to linger or skip ahead without a group. It does not suit people who want a costumed guide, theatrical delivery, or someone to answer questions on the spot.
Boston keeps its old burying grounds and haunted landmarks close together downtown, which makes a self-guided format practical to walk. Expect to cover multiple sites, from burial grounds to a reputedly haunted hotel and theater, at your own tempo. Because you are on your own, the experience is only as immersive as you make it, so it rewards visitors who like reading ahead and setting their own pace.
