The Lizzie Borden House – Copyright US Ghost Adventures
If you know me, you know just how much I love spooky season! 👻 One of the activities I always put on my October list is a ghost tour. It’s a spine-chilling way to learn about local history and get in the spirit of the season. If you’re looking to elevate your Halloween plans this year, why not step into the shoes of a ghost hunter on a tour of Boston’s haunted sites or at the infamous Lizzie Borden House?
First up, a tour of Boston’s dark past. As one of America’s oldest cities, Boston has witnessed its fair share of ghastly events. You’ll uncover chilling stories at some of the city’s most haunted locations (did you know that the Boston Common was once the scene of hundreds of hangings?)
The “In Cold Blood: True Crime Experience” tour is an adults-only tour that’s the perfect mix of history lesson and ghostly encounter that’ll take you through key Boston sites. Prefer to enjoy spirits of both kinds? They also offer a Haunted Pub Crawl called “Boos and Booze.”
Have kids in tow? No worries! There are also family-friendly tours too, offering the same spooky atmosphere, but toned down for younger ghost hunters.
If you’re looking for something truly unique, head about an hour outside of Boston to Fall River’s Lizzie Borden House. The home is the site of a historic gruesome and unsolved double murder that took place in 1892. Tours are offered at the house, and if you’re especially brave you can even stay overnight in the same rooms where the victims were found.
Whether you’re wandering Boston’s eerie streets or sleeping with one eye open at the Lizzie Borden House, these tours are perfect for anyone with a love for spooky history. So book your tickets, lace up your walking shoes and get ready to experience something truly unique this October.
Happy Haunting!
