Boston Ghosts & Gravestones Trolley Tour
Explore Boston's darkest secrets on this spine-chilling trolley tour through the city's most haunted locations. Led by costumed guides, this 1.5-hour evening experience takes you to historic burial grounds nearly 400 years old, where true tales of crime, restless spirits and local legends come to life in the shadows.
Your journey through Boston's haunted past includes visits to King's Chapel Burying Ground and Copp's Hill Burying Ground, two of the city's three oldest cemeteries. At King's Chapel, you'll discover the mysterious Strangers Tomb and learn about the souls said to haunt these ancient grounds. Copp's Hill holds the grave of Cotton Mather from the Salem Witch Trials, whilst you'll also pass Granary Burying Ground, final resting place of Paul Revere and members of Benjamin Franklin's family.
The tour stops at the notorious Omni Parker House hotel, where unexplained lights, ghostly sounds and tales of guests who never checked out have earned it a place in Boston's supernatural folklore. Your guide shares authentic accounts of the Boston Strangler and other crimes that left permanent marks on the city's history.
