During the day, I don’t believe in ghosts.
At night, I’m a little more open-minded.

Greenwich Village

Step into the shadows of Greenwich Village on this private 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.

*Tour contains dark themes and descriptions. May not be suitable for all children, parental guidance recommended.

Itinerary

    Hear the stories of some of the 20+ ghosts said to inhabit this pre-Revolution carriage house.

  • Imagine this home in its heyday as a 1920's speakeasy run by the charming and corrupt mayor of NYC. More than the smell of spirits linger here.

  • Take in the stories of "The Most Haunted House in New York", including brushes with former resident Mark Twain.

  • Hear the fascinating (and blood-chilling) history of this iconic park, including the story of the last public execution in NYC and the remains of plague victims still beneath your feet.

  • Stop by Edgar Allen Poe’s tragic NYC home and hear the tale of the haunted former fire house just across the street.

  • Hear about the horrifying fire that lead to the deaths of 146 workers, and the souls said to still haunt the halls.
