Explore Boston’s haunted Common and Beacon Hill with historian Stephen, mixing dark history, Poe, ghost tales, and a small evening group.

“Ghost tours can be cheesy, but this one definitely wasn’t! It was more storytelling based on real historical events, with the idea of hauntings raised as possibilities resulting from the macabre events of Boston’s “dark side”. Stephen was knowledgeable and engaging. I recommend an evening tour to enhance the eeriness.”
