What To Expect

Ghosts & Gravestones

Step aboard the trolley of the doomed and join your host, a 17th-century grave digger, cursed with a sentence of eternal damnation. This wretched creature is doomed to travel the streets of Boston and relay the stories of the unfortunate souls he encountered and the macabre events he had been witness to during his purgatory. Hear about Boston's most sinister characters - from the Angel of Death to the king of all killers - the Boston Strangler. Learn about all the haunts that call the "Hub" their home. But that's not all! Step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston for a walking tour you will never forget. Learn the significance of much of the imagery found in these 17th century burial grounds and the famous and not so famous (but even more interesting) occupants therein. Visit Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End, nestled atop the tallest point in one of Boston's oldest historic districts. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his "intimate" involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then to the Granary Burying Ground where you will visit the final resting places of many of the famous heroes of the American Revolution including John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. Remember that half of the tour is walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended (so you don't become "dead" on your feet)!

My 12 year old and I had a fabulous time on this tour. Betty, our main guide was an outstanding actress, getting the creepy vibes started before the tour even left. I would suggest doing this tour on your first night in Boston so that you can make a mental note of the sites you want to visit in the daylight to get a better look. As far as the scary factor, it wasn’t terrifying but it may scare young children. You will have to judge your kids scare tolerance but older kids would be fine. My 12 year old loved it. Also note there’s loud noises on the bus from time to time when the guides are storytelling or they instruct us to scream. I would definitely do this tour again, we had a blast and it was mostly due to Betty and her team’s awesome storytelling.

This was a fantastic evening! The actors on the trolley were knowledgeable, funny and great at telling scary stories and creating an atmosphere. The trips around the graveyards were interesting, made all the better by being in the dark! Recommend for those who like gory stories and exploring graveyards.
