Overview
Greenwich Village is widely known for its spooky history. During the 1700s, nearly 20,000 bodies were buried in a mass grave under Washington Square Park due to an outbreak of yellow fever that hit the whole of New York. Your tour will bring you up close to all the famous historical locations as you hear stories of lost children, celebrity ghosts, and park-dwelling phantoms.
See the famous English elm, Hanging Tree, situated in the northwest corner of Greenwich Village that’s known for its plethora of hangings during the 18th century. Visit the most haunted house in New York, as well as several hotspots that are known for their paranormal activity. For instance, The Cherry Lane Theatre, Washington Arch, Jefferson Market Library, The Murder House, Anne Charlotte Lynch’s House, and more.

Uno dei tour più belli
Ottavia Morra ·Fantasticoo e affasciante ti fa calare nelle leggende di NY … meraviglioso il ragazzoo che ci ha fatto da guida , ci ha spiegato tutto con entusiasmo e passione bravissimo
Host great, but mixed bag
Vic c ·Our host was lovely, super enthusiastic and knowledgeable but the tour was a mix of history, ghost stories and true crime. It felt like there wasn’t enough material for a “Ghost” tour.
Nice evening your!
Toni ·Nice walking tour! Enjoyed the stories! Beautiful area to explore
Considering this tour? You won't regret it.
Tamra ·We went into the tour thinking it would just be a spooky tour. This was SO much more! We learned the history of the buildings. We learned history of the neighborhood. Tragic stories. Entertaining stories. We absolutely saw the lights flickering. If you are on the fence about this tour, just do it. It was great.
Great tour
Shaun ·Fun tour. Great stories about Greenwich village. Tour guide was awesome.
