What to Expect

Boston's colonial burial grounds and historic neighborhoods contain centuries of documented criminal history and folklore. You board the trolley after dark to travel across the city with a guide costumed as a traditional gravedigger. The narration focuses entirely on real accounts, detailing historic execution sites and crimes like the Boston Strangler case to take you on an eerie and unforgettable journey. Each nighttime tour features rare, after-hours admission past the gates of two locked 17th-century cemeteries.

This tour provides you with exclusive night-time access to walk past the heavy stone boundaries after hours. You follow a guide down the dark paths to hear documented accounts of colonial executions and piracy alongside local graveyard folklore. The route leads directly through the oldest sections of the grounds where these historical events took place.
