This night-time ghost tour will take you on a journey led by your expert guide to discover the darker side of New York, on a two-hour walk brimming with spine-chilling legends and myths about some of Manhattan’s historic sites.

You’ll visit Washington Square Park, which between the 18th and 19th centuries served as a cemetery and mass grave where victims of the yellow fever epidemic were buried, giving rise to tales from beyond the grave.

You’ll also be able to explore the Cherry Lane Theatre, a renowned Off-Broadway theatre that you’ll love visiting.

In the park, a local guide will tell you about the most famous stories of spirits and ghosts which, according to residents, haunt the area at night.

Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, you’re sure to have a thoroughly enjoyable, interesting and unique time by signing up for this tour, which takes in the spookiest spots in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.

    Great, much better to do this kind of activity than to watch horror movies. I highly recommend it. Very interesting story of each haunted place.

    It's a great way to do something different, you get out of the routine with this walk. Afterwards it is difficult to see each place with the same eyes.
