Oh, what to do in the most haunting time of the year in one of the oldest cities in the country? Fortunately for you, Boston has plenty to offer when it comes to chills, thrills, and family fun.
Take a Boston Ghost Cruise through the dark waters of Boston Harbor, and hear tales of terror as you pass through the very locations of their happenings. Cruises have been added for the Halloween season, so be sure to sail into the season with a Boston Ghost Cruise.
The Ghosts & Gravestones tour of Boston takes you on a “frightseeing” journey through 400-year-old graveyards and other haunted locations. Hear about some of history’s most nefarious figures – The Boston Strangler, Jolly Jane, Dr. John Webster, Cotton Mather, amongst a slew of other assorted characters.
Here’s a quick fun fact for you: on October 21, 2006, Boston (in partnership with Life is Good to benefit Camp Sunshine) set the world record for number of carved and lit jack-o-lanterns in one location. Their total? 30,128! This year on October 23 from 11am-9pm, watch Boston break its own record at the now-annual Life is Good Pumpkin Festival on the Boston Common.
Break out your costumes and get ready for a fantastic Halloween in the city!
