Let Boroughs of the Dead guide you through New York City’s oldest quarters, where the echoes of the past linger in the narrow, shadowy streets.
Lower Manhattan is rich with eerie, grim, and stranger-than-fiction stories, many of which have been forgotten over time. This tour brings these hidden tales back to life, ranging from the heart-wrenching and horrific to the darkly humorous and downright terrifying. Encounter witches and wretches, pirates and prisoners, spirits and sacred sites, as our guides take you through 400 years of legends and history––across burial grounds, and sites of rebellion and revolution––that continue to haunt us today.
Blending history with the supernatural, this engaging walk is ideal for history enthusiasts with a taste for the macabre, as well as fans of the paranormal, creepy, and unusual.
Our guides are published authors and active artists. Discover more about our distinctive approach to NYC’s eerie and macabre histories at boroughsofthedead.com.
