The Death and Dying Ghost Tour offers a distinctly different experience for those interested in Boston's haunted history. Rated 4.8 stars and attended by thousands of guests, this tour is designed for mature audiences seeking a deeper understanding of how colonial Boston approached death, dying, and the afterlife.
With mature themes, unfiltered storytelling, and no kids allowed, this tour is strictly for guests 16 and up. It's not just spooky. It's unsettling, raw, and historically grounded in the way death shaped daily life for early Bostonians. You'll explore how people prepared for death, how the dead were mourned, and why many of their spirits never moved on.
While ghost stories are a key part of the experience, this tour takes a historical approach to the rituals, beliefs, and practices surrounding death in early America, exploring how these customs shaped both the living and the spirits they left behind. Through visits to historically significant sites, participants will gain insight into how fear, superstition, and religion influenced colonial attitudes toward mortality.
