Itinerary
N/A (Pass By)
Start the tour at one of Boston's oldest hotels, the Omni Parker House is steeped in haunted history. Guests and staff have reported eerie encounters, including the lingering presence of the hotel's founder, Harvey Parker, who is said to roam the halls, ensuring his guests are well cared for—even from beyond the grave.
N/A (Pass By)
This historic cemetery is the final resting place of many famous figures from the American Revolution. Among the ancient tombstones, visitors have reported strange orbs, shadowy figures, and the unsettling feeling of being watched, as the spirits of the past seem to linger in this sacred ground.
Boston Common (Pass By)
As America's oldest public park, Boston Common has a dark past that includes public hangings and duels. The ghostly apparitions of those executed here are said to wander the grounds at night, with sightings of misty figures and disembodied voices adding to the park's eerie atmosphere.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Paul (Pass By)
This historic church has been a site of worship since the early 1800s, but it's also known for its spectral visitors. Mysterious sounds and shadowy figures have been reported, with some believing the spirits of former parishioners remain, drawn back to the church in death.
Massachusetts State House (Pass By)
Overlooking Boston Common, the Massachusetts State House has a haunted reputation tied to its Revolutionary War history. Some say the spirits of soldiers and politicians roam the halls, with ghostly footsteps and unexplained cold spots felt by those who work late into the night.
Boston Athenaeum (Pass By)
This historic library is home to more than just rare books. Visitors have reported seeing ghostly figures among the stacks and feeling an unshakable sense of being watched, particularly near the portrait of George Washington, which is rumored to be haunted by a former librarian.
John Adams Courthouse (Pass By)
The John Adams Courthouse, steeped in legal history, is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of those who faced justice within its walls. Echoes of past trials and ghostly apparitions have been reported, with some visitors feeling an eerie presence in the courtrooms.
N/A (Pass By)
King's Chapel is one of Boston's oldest churches, with a burial ground that dates back to 1630. The cemetery is said to be haunted by restless spirits, including a mysterious "Black Minister" who is occasionally seen wandering among the gravestones at dusk.

Fun!

My friend and I were the only ones attending the tour on a frigid January night, and we had the best time! Jake did a great job bringing to life the ghostly tales of old Boston. He was thoughtful and patient with us. He knew his history and made the tales very engaging and entertaining. Highly recommend!
