Overview

Almost every step through the West Village encounters the ghosts and spirits of New York City’s past. Walk through the haunted streets of Greenwich Village. Stand above the hidden tomb of 20,000 yellow fever victims, catch a glimpse of a turn-of-the-century revolution set on an endless loop, hear tales of modern tragedy and murder, and trace the steps of our famous forefathers, who tend to linger past their expiration date.

Our Haunted History Tour offers a unique blend of history, mystery, and spine-tingling tales that you won't find anywhere else. From the chilling tales of Washington Square Park to the haunted homes of literary legends, our tour is a captivating experience for all ghost lovers.
