Behind the tree-lined charm of Greenwich Village lies one of the darkest histories in New York. Ghost City Tours leads walking tours through the neighborhood's crooked, storied streets, beginning at Washington Square Park — a place of fountains and chess tables that sits directly atop a forgotten potter's field, where the city's poor and plague-dead were buried beneath what is now open lawn.
Our guides tell the true, researched history behind each haunting — the park's centuries-old hanging elm, the streets where Edgar Allan Poe once lived and wrote, and the locked-door horror of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire. Take the all-ages Whispers of the Village Ghost Tour for history and ghost story woven together without the gore, or save the adults-only Wicked Village Tour for after dark, when the stories turn to the West 10th Street townhouse known as the House of Death. For a night out, the Greenwich Village Haunted Pub Crawl raises a glass in the neighborhood's oldest, most haunted bars.
Ghost City Tours has been the original ghost tour company since 2012, and we bring that same true-history storytelling to the most haunted corner of Manhattan. Book your Greenwich Village ghost tour and see what still lingers behind the Village's famous front.
