Description

The murdered civilians of the Boston Massacre, shrieking terrors of 19th Century hotel spirits, and a notorious Highwayman are all waiting for you to dare interfere with their territory. Boston is one of the nation’s oldest cities, with a long and rich history of trauma and violence, the perfect ingredients to leave a spirit behind.

Explore both legend and fact behind a variety of rumored and historically documented tales of hauntings, spirit photography, and good old-fashioned manslaughter, but don’t fret. You won’t wet your knickers. This tour is appropriate for all willing ages, though some violent imagery is certainly a part of the package, so parental discretion is advised. We focus on telling great stories, cracking cheap jokes, and making sure everyone is having fun.

We Can't...

• You will almost certainly NOT see a ghost on this tour. Sorry. They just don’t seem to work like that. However, in fairness, photographs taken near the Great Elm have contained very bizarre images.
