About this Event

Part historical tour, part ghost tour, this spirited stroll through Lower Manhattan reveals a wealth of forgotten histories that are ghastly, grim, and stranger-than-fiction.

The tales told on this tour range from the to the heart-wrenching and horrific to the ghoulishly funny to the flat-out frightening. Our guides lead you through 400 years of legends and history, across burial grounds, sites of rebellion and revolution, that haunt us still today.

Visit grave sites and sacred spaces, haunted taverns, parks and potter’s fields. Meet witches and wretches, pirates and prisoners, and be prepared to shift your perspective of Lower Manhattan forever!

Tips for your guide are encouraged!
