Tour description
Walk with us as we journey through the long-feared sinister underbelly of Boston. Travel to places not only steeped in legend, but stranger still, recently found to have unexplained and unsettling paranormal energies, documented with modern detectors, and occasionally captured in photographs by those lucky enough to find them.
Join Tours By Foot on our Haunted Boston Common & Beacon Hill Ghost Tour and you will encounter weird aberrations, restless spirits and stray souls trapped between this world and the afterworld who wander and haunt some of Boston's parks, alleys and public spaces.
Central Burial Ground: Step into one of Boston’s oldest cemeteries, where countless spirits are said to linger.
Edgar Allan Poe Site: Hear stories about his connection to Boston and the eerie inspiration behind some of his most famous works.
Boston Common: Explore the oldest public park in the United States, Boston Common, which has seen centuries of events, from public hangings to Revolutionary War gatherings, and it’s reputed to be haunted by spirits from every era.
Parkman Bandstand: Discover the ghostly legends surrounding Parkman Bandstand, the backdrop for many historical events and, some say, paranormal activities.
Haunted Omni Parker House Hotel: Conclude your tour at the famously haunted Omni Parker House Hotel. Hear firsthand accounts of ghost sightings and unexplained phenomena that have left even the most skeptical visitors questioning their beliefs.
