Description

This spine-tingling journey through Boston’s haunted history starts at Boylston Street Station, the site of a deadly gas explosion. Some attribute the disaster to an accident, while others believe the disturbance of old graves during construction may have angered spirits. Regardless, it's said the victims still linger here. Next, you'll explore the Central Burying Ground and Boston Common, where you’ll uncover the dark stories of unmarked graves, disturbed corpses, and brutal executions. One spirit, in particular, is known for his unsettling connection to children—so stay close! The tour continues to the Boston Athenaeum, a beautiful but eerie building home to a book bound in human skin. It’s not the only sinister item within its walls, either. Do you dare enter? From there, visit the Granary Burying Ground, resting place of America’s Revolutionary founders. But these famous figures may not have left entirely—many report strange occurrences within the cemetery. Then it’s on to King’s Chapel Burying Ground, where the dead rest uneasily. Legends say one unfortunate man was buried alive, and on some nights, you can still hear his desperate scratching... You’ll take a break from the graves to visit the Omni Parker House, Boston’s most haunted hotel. Spectral visitors have been seen on nearly every floor, and only the bravest stay overnight. Next, learn about a fraudulent photographer who exploited the city’s hauntings, before reaching the Old State House. Inside lies a cursed artifact responsible for much suffering.
