Immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit with one of these seasonally appropriate excursions

 

Beacon Hill with a BOO! (pictured): Local non-profit Boston By Foot resurrects its popular annual trek through the Hub’s iconic neighborhood on October 27 & 31 and November 1. Marvel at the elaborately adorned townhouses while listening to anecdotes recounting the locale’s dark history of murder, mayhem and mystery.

 

The Freedom Trail Lantern Tour: On Thursday through Saturday evenings through October 26 and on the night of October 30, experience an intimate outing replete with pirates, witches and grave-robbers that recounts the real and macabre history behind some of the most well-known places along the famed pathway, all led by expert, costumed guides.

 

Ghost City Tours of Boston: This all-ages jaunt through Downtown Boston concentrates on American Revolution-era sites, including historic cemeteries, Faneuil Hall and more. The operator also offers the adult-oriented Death and Dying Ghost Tour, as well as a pub crawl for the 21+ set that combines two types of spirits.

 

Ghosts & Gravestones: A trolley tour for those who’d like to have all the frights without all the steps, this journey aboard the all-black “Trolley of Doom” led by a ghoulish cast of undead characters visits some of the city’s most spirited locations, including haunted hotels and gooseflesh-inducing graveyards. For those that don’t mind lighting up their pedometers, the company also boasts the 90-minute Nightwalk tour, which gives visitors exclusive access to a slew of frightening spots.

 

Haunted Boston Ghost Tours: Running nightly at 8 p.m. through December 1, this 90-minute walking tour paces in and around Boston Common and Beacon Hill, revealing true-life, chilling tales dating from Colonial times up to today.
