<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you want a place that oozes history \u2014 and I do mean history <\/em>\u2014 look no further than Boston, where its rich history is best explored with a tour of Boston<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the oldest cities in America, founded in 1630 by Puritans fleeing religious persecution in England, and it has a slew of historic sites: Paul Revere’s house, Bunker Hill, and the USS Constitution, just to name a few. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But there are so many more sites and stories you might miss if you don\u2019t have a local to pull back the curtain and show you. Our Haunted Boston Walking Tour<\/a> begins in the late afternoon at the Boston Common, an appropriate starting point for this ghost tour. The downtown park was once home to the infamous Hanging Tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the sun sinks lower, your guide leads you to the spookiest spots in historic Boston. You\u2019ll look at the Massachusetts State House in a new light once you hear the tragic tale of Mary Dyer. You\u2019ll stand close to the very spot where the Boston Massacre erupted in 1770, a riot that turned deadly, changing the course of world history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll also visit more than one cemetery, including Boston\u2019s oldest, King\u2019s Chapel Burying Ground, as well as the most haunted hotel in America. Don\u2019t be shocked if you run into a few spirits wandering the streets just like you. This is, after all, a ghost tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re visiting the city for the first time or have lived here your whole life, this is the Boston you need to see to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t Haunted Boston Ghost Tour<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n Paris is beloved for many things: the Eiffel Tower<\/a>, the catacombs<\/a>, artists, cathedrals, cobblestone streets, and more. With such a rich history, it shouldn\u2019t surprise you that the city also has a mysterious side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you\u2019re walking on the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris, at midnight, make way for the phantom coach that\u2019s known to cross it every night. What could be scarier than a ghost coach? Oh, that barely scratches the surface of Paris\u2019 haunted history! You might spot the ghost of the ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette, who haunts an old royal palace or hear the phantom bell ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral.\u00a0 Paris Ghost Tour: From Pont Neuf to Notre Dame<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n You might know San Francisco\u2019s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood for its role in the Summer of Love in 1967, when more than 75,000 young adults flooded the district, sharing rooms, experimenting with LSD, and protesting against the Vietnam War. But it wasn\u2019t all sunshine and flowers as you\u2019ll discover on our True Crime Tales from the Haight Walking Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where San Francisco\u2019s Ripper, rumored to be the same as the Whitechapel villain who strangled his victims, once stalked the streets. And he wasn\u2019t the only serial killer to terrorize the area. Maybe that\u2019s why it has one of the most haunted roads in the city \u2014 Haight Street \u2014 a hotspot for uncanny paranormal happenings. In 1969, a particularly bloody year, more than 150 fatal crimes took place in the district. As you\u2019ll learn, not every assassin was caught, like the notorious Zodiac Killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a fan of true crime, you already know how these stories can draw you in, but this tour is also for anyone interested in the secrets of the Haight or San Francisco<\/a> history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll visit homes of musicians, murderers, and more as your guide shares the chilling truth behind each one. We\u2019ll also tour some of SF\u2019s spookiest places: Haight Street, of course, but also Terror Terrace, Lake Alvord, and the former headquarters of outlaw biker gang Hells Angels. You\u2019ll hear strange tales, like how ordering a certain drink at one local cocktail lounge engulfs visitors in a cold, hostile aura. We\u2019ll even walk on tombstones \u2014 as many do every day here without knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t True Crime Tales From the Haight-Ashbury Walking Tour<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n Come to the Windy City for gangsters and ghosts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no surprise that a city once ruled by the Mob is a prime pick for a really good ghost tour. The Mafia rose to power in the 1920s, leaving a legacy of vice and depravity \u2026 and more than a few unrestful departed souls who are said to haunt its quiet backstreets and century-old buildings still today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hear it all on our Haunted Mysteries of Chicago Mob Tour<\/a>. Your guide shares ghost stories and spine-tingling yet true tales from history as you explore some of Chicago\u2019s most famous landmarks.Does the site of the scenic Buckingham Fountain have a tragic secret behind it? Who roams the halls after dark in the Congress Plaza Hotel? What happened under the L during Al Capone\u2019s heyday? And why is the Alley of Death a hub of paranormal activity? These are just some of the questions we\u2019ll answer together here in Chicago<\/a>.

Some still walk the streets of Hollywood\u2026 or so they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Haunted Hollywood Walking Tour: True Crime, Creepy Tales<\/a> is just the right balance of true-crime history and ghost tour mystery. We cover haunted hotels, theaters, and other LA landmarks where the spirits of LA\u2019s famous and forgotten stars still linger and where more than a few have met untimely ends.You\u2019ll learn the grisly story of the Hollywood Sign<\/a>, what happens when the lights go out at the Pantages Theatre, and where you can run into Marilyn Monroe\u2019s ghost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t Haunted Hollywood Ghost Tour: True Crime, Creepy Tales<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n Think vampires don\u2019t exist?

Her chilling story is just one of many you\u2019ll hear in our Barcelona\u2019s Dark History Walking Tour in El Raval<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Edgy, seedy, and historic \u2014 Raval<\/a> has long been a neighborhood that collected Barcelona\u2019s outcasts. On our tour, you\u2019ll explore their haunts and hear their sad \u2014 and often twisted \u2014 stories. As part of the tour, you\u2019ll stop at the former Hospital of la Santa Creu. Here you\u2019ll wander the grounds where shows and spells of the most macabre once took place.

P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/a>, the city’s most famous and largest cemetery, is known for its beautiful headstones, lavish sepulchers, and serene pathways.

Their tombs may be cold, their stories will make your blood run hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the tour, you\u2019ll also get to see the final resting place of legendary artists, writers, and musicians, like Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, and Jim Morrison. It\u2019s interactive, too \u2014 a little rubbing, a little kissing \u2014 at the appropriate graves, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery Walking Tour: Scandals and Love Affairs<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n If you enjoy a good mystery or uncovering the hidden secrets of a city, then one of our ghost tours is perfect for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents sometimes ask if they\u2019re appropriate for kids, and the answer is that it depends.
