Overview

Haunted Boston Ghost Tours, LLC is the oldest ghost walking tour in Boston. Owner, Hillary Kidd, started the company in 2005 as the only tour guide and the company quickly expanded with over 8 tour guides. The concept behind the ghost tours is to tell guests the "darker side of Boston's history" through good, old-fashioned storytelling. The guides do not dress up in costumes, use fake accents, nor rely on theatrics to entertain guests. "Theatrics are not needed when your stories are good, and we tell the entire gamut of creepy stories - ghost stories, haunted locations, murder, the macabre, books bound in human skin; as I like to say, we tell the 'other side' of Boston's history." Haunted Boston Ghost Tours owner, Hillary Kidd
