Delve into the history behind the hauntings with Boroughs of the Dead. We situate our favorite ghost stories within the broader narrative of the city, untangling the complex relationship between the troubling past and the spectral present. Ideal for history lovers and spooky people alike, it's a classic Greenwich Village ghost tour with a nerdy twist. Indulge your curiosity, morbid fascinations, and love of NYC history as you visit the site of the former Potter’s Field in Washington Square Park, the Arch, the ‘Hangman’s Elm,’ the former Edgar Allan Poe house, the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, the ‘House of Death,’ and more. Our guides share haunting tales while asking larger questions about how ghost stories are created, how we reuse and memorialize these spaces, the relationship of residual haunting to the urban landscape, and more. Our guides are published writers and working artists. See our website for more about our unique approach to urban ghost tours.
