Boston Haunted History Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour

Despre activitate

Traverse Boston’s oldest neighborhoods and hear about the lost souls still trapped within—from the poor, perpetually burning victims of a gas explosion in Boylston Station to a spectral woman in the Boston Common who tries to convince children to follow her into the dark. Walk through uneasy graveyards where the bodies have been moved, dug up, or lost altogether, and learn the stories of their unquiet dead.

Itinerar

  1. Old State House

    20 min

    The majestic Old State House was built all the way back in 1713, but it isn't haunted in the traditional way. Instead, it houses what some call a cursed artifact. That artifact? A figurehead which may or may not have been responsible for more than one shipwreck.

    Note: The tour is over 2.5 miles long, with more than 40 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

    New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

  2. Boston Massacre Site

    20 min

    A circle of granite markers designate the site of the Boston Massacre. Here, in 1770, five men were gunned down by British soldiers during a protest. They became heroes of the American cause, but at great cost. Late at night, some people report hearing a man crying out in pain from this very spot.

  3. Oprirea 3

    20 min

    Built in 1927, the Omni Parker House is believed by many to be Boston's most haunted hotel. All manner of supernatural occurrences have been recorded here, from mirrors fogging up on their own to spectral figures standing at the end of guests' beds. Given the hotel's long history of unfortunate happenings, it's no surprise that every floor seems to harbor its own spirits.

  4. Boylston Street

    Trecere fără oprire

    Your ghostly tour through Boston begins at Boylston Street Station, an unassuming landmark with a seriously dark past. When workers were digging to build this station, they encountered tons of bodies buried in unmarked graves. Afterward, things began to go terribly, sometimes lethally wrong on the worksite.

  5. Boston Athenaeum

    Trecere fără oprire

    Though beautiful on the outside, there's some major ugliness hidden within the Boston Athenaeum. Among the collection here is a book bound in human skin. The Athenaeum also reportedly houses the ghost of a Harvard librarian, spotted by none other than author Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  6. Oprirea 6

    Trecere fără oprire

    Among the most famous residents of the Granary Burying Ground is Samuel Adams. You might know him from the beer, but he's better known in Boston as a revolutionary hero and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

  7. Boston Common

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Boston Common may appear to be little more than a pleasant park in the heart of the city, but it has been the site of some deeply unsavory things in its long history. In the 1600s and 1700s, the city used an old elm here to hang convicts. Some say their spirits never left the park, including one woman who is said to prowl the park after nightfall, looking for lost children.

  8. Oprirea 8

    Trecere fără oprire

    John Hancock's grave marks the final resting place of this famous Declaration of Independence signer. According to legend, Hancock was buried with expensive rings on his fingers, and enterprising grave robbers took that as an opportunity. But did they actually dig up his body?

  9. Granary Burying Ground

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Granary Burying Ground, founded in 1660, is among the city's oldest cemeteries. It holds the graves of famous revolutionaries, as well as thousands of unmarked graves. In the 1800s, the graveyard was rearranged to make it more aesthetically pleasing, but some suggest the disruption only angered those residents who have no gravestones to mark their final resting place.

  10. King's Chapel Burying Ground

    Trecere fără oprire

    King's Chapel Burying Ground is even older than the Granary Burying Ground. In fact, established in 1630, it's the oldest graveyard in the entire city. If you believe the local legends, they tell of a man who was buried alive here. Sometimes, at night, visitors say they still hear him scratching at his coffin.

  11. Oprirea 11

    Trecere fără oprire

    Perhaps best known for his famous "Midnight Ride," Paul Revere's grave is also found in the Granary Burying Ground. Supposedly, Revere's grave is haunted, but not by Revere himself! Revere's friend Dr. Joseph Warren is said to linger around the gravesite to protect his longtime friend.

  12. Central Burying Ground

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Central Burying Ground is where all those unmarked bodies from Boylston Street Station were moved, but it's also the final resting place of Boston's undesirable dead, like British soldiers. Almost everyone who ventures through this graveyard reports a deep and inexplicable feeling of unease, like something terrible is about to happen...

  13. Oprirea 13

    Trecere fără oprire

    James Otis might not be the most famous resident of the Granary Burying Ground, but his contribution to the creation of the United States is no less significant than that of his peers. If you know the phrase "taxation without representation is tyranny" then you know Otis! Supposedly, his spirit still lingers here, though no one is quite sure why.

  14. Oprirea 14

    Trecere fără oprire

    At the site of the old Pilot House, visitors say the sailors who once unwound here after long stints at sea never actually left. Some hear the sounds of men playing cards, drinking, laughing and talking, even when no one else is around.

  15. Old North Church & Historic Site

    Trecere fără oprire

    One of the most important historical sites in Boston, the Old North Church is where Paul Revere famously asked for a lantern signal to notify him of the coming British: "One if by land, two if by sea." It also happens to sit atop a crypt populated by the dead... and those dead seem at times to be of the restless sort.

  16. Copp's Hill Burying Ground

    Trecere fără oprire

    Copp's Hill Burying Ground, the last stop on your tour, was the burial site for Boston's everyday citizens. While ghost sightings are rare here, most visitors report feeling deeply uneasy for reasons they can't explain. Your tour concludes here, but there's much more to Boston and more optional stops for those who would like to keep touring.

  17. Emerson Colonial Theater

    Trecere fără oprire

    The historic Emerson Colonial Theatre, Boston’s oldest continually operating theater and a stage for legendary Broadway premieres.

  18. USS Constitution Museum

    Trecere fără oprire

    Explore the USS Constitution Museum, where history comes alive through exhibits about “Old Ironsides” and her heroic naval legacy.

  19. Oprirea 19

    Trecere fără oprire

    Remember the Cocoanut Grove, site of Boston’s tragic 1942 nightclub fire that led to major advances in fire safety laws nationwide.

  20. Oprirea 20

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston’s iconic luxury hotel, known for its grand architecture and over a century of timeless elegance.

  21. Oprirea 21

    Trecere fără oprire

    Visit the South End Burying Ground, one of Boston’s oldest cemeteries, holding centuries of history and stories from the city’s early days.

  22. Oprirea 22
