Greenwich Village Ghost Tour

Led by guides in witches’ garb, this walking tour traces the darker threads of Manhattan’s history through Washington Square Park and the surrounding streets. The narrative weaves between verifiable history and local mythology, touching on the park’s origins as a lost cemetery and site of a hanging tree. Along the route, you will encounter lore linked to Edgar Allan Poe and the long-standing legends of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. The experience is framed as a series of tales—perhaps legends, or perhaps something more—delivered by a storyteller focused on sites where ghostly activity has been reported.
