During the day, I don’t believe in ghosts.
At night, I’m a little more open-minded.- Folk saying
Ghosts of
Greenwich Village
Step into the shadows of Greenwich Village on this 2-hour haunted walking tour where history and mystery intertwine.

From phantom footsteps to ghostly figures, discover why the Village is one of NYC’s most haunted neighborhoods.
