Let Boroughs of the Dead guide you through the weird and spectral history of one of the city’s most haunting neighborhoods.

Wend your way through the labyrinthine streets of the iconic West Village as you hear fantastic tales of restless spirits; phantom magicians; obsessive writers; fanboy body-snatchers; ghostly founding fathers; and famed horror legends Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. The Village has historically been a haven for poets and writers, and many feature on this tour – Dylan Thomas, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Shirley Jackson. Discover all of this and more uncanny tales and urban lore on Boroughs of the Dead’s haunting stroll through the past.
