Boston Ghosts and Gravestones tour is two hour trip to several Boston graveyards after dark.
They drive guests around in a spooky trolley and then open up the locked graveyards to let everyone walk around while telling tales of the graveyards and people buried there.
Our "doom buggy" (aka evil trolley)
All of the guides dress up in costume and are in character, even the driver of the trolley.
We were scared!
Just kidding, I ain't afraid of no ghost.
These old graveyards at night really look like a movie set.
They told us all kinds of stories of the shipwrecks, serial killers, ghosts, gravediggers, and legends of Boston.
They also shared that the largest graveyard in Boston is actually the Boston Common (the big park in the middle of Boston). However, it is an unmarked graveyard. Apparently, back in the early days of Boston it was used to hang people that were convicted of crimes. But it was too much trouble to bury criminals, so they just would give them shallow grave in the Boston Common . Creepy, right?
Our lovely tour guide decided to demonstrate on the Mr. of what a hanging in the Boston Common looked like.
I'm pretty sure this should be our Christmas Card this year. No?
The funniest part was when our tour guide pretended to lock our tour group in one of the graveyard and ran off. We stood there for minute feeling confused and suddenly an another guide popped out from behind a grave!
So crazy!
It was such an interesting, fun, and unique tour!
But just remember...
When the sun goes down in Boston...
The spooks come out at night!
(This is actually the view from my Mom's apartment. Pretty amazing, huh?)

Love all the pics, the purple looks so good on you! :) What a nice sunset you got to enjoy too. Glad you aren't scared of ghosts. I get freaked out easily so this would have been hard for me. ha ha ha
That looks like a very cool and spooky tour!! I love the skyline pictures.
How fun!! My hubby and I are thinking of going to Boston for our 1 year Ann. next Oct and I would love to do all the haunted tours.
So, I just have a question- how come in every single pic you put your hands on your hip :)?
The "scared" picture of you and the hubby is so cute! And, amazing shots from your mom's apartment...what a great view! Looks like you had a lot of fun on your trip and it's cool you were able to experience so many different Bostonian things.
Oh how cute! The driver of that bus looks scary!

What an awesome and fun trip. I had a brief trip to Boston five years ago. I wish I would have been able to take those tours. Looked so fun. I used to live in So Cal, actually born and raised there in El Monte. My family is lifelong Trojan fans. My parents used to have SC and UCLA parties all the time. My father loved his Trojans. He passed this year. Whenever I hear the SC band I cry missing my daddy. I have really enjoyed your blog. Thanks for sharing. GO TROJANS!!!!!
I love ghost tours!! Can't get enough of creepy stuff. And your mom's view?! Awesome. I would never leave her apt!
We did the Ghosts and Gravestones tour in St. Augustine, Florida! How funny that the "doom buggy" looks exactly the same! We had a blast too...we will have to do this one if we are ever in Boston!
