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.
