You will discover more about eerie libraries, cemeteries, courthouses, and other locations as you explore the neighborhood.

You will relive frightening tales as our professional tour guide takes you on a rollercoaster ride across some of the more nightmarish stops lurking inside of Boston.

  • Explore the somber rows of Puritan graves in King’s Chapel and the nearby cemetery.
