New York · NYC GHOST AND HAUNTED TOURS
Greenwich Village and the old downtown lanes carry most of the stories. These 7 walks are compared on route, how long you spend outside in the cold and how much theatre comes with the history.
Meet your guide at 266 Mulberry Street for a 90-minute tour of Old St. Patrick’s Basilica, its cemetery, and the only Catholic catacombs in New York City. Guides such as Jimmy Boyle, James, Leslie, and Tommy bring the church’s past to life, though the crypts are smaller than many expect.
“What a fun find! We had NO idea that this was a part of NYC history! Enjoyed the guide and the experience.”
Follow guides such as Jackson, Zach, Ryen, and Chayenne through Little Italy, Chinatown, and the West Village. This small-group walk mixes mob stories, old crimes, haunted buildings, and New York geography, ending at Washington Square Park. Choose a daytime or evening departure.
“So much fun! Jack was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging, and a sweetheart! Because it was so unbelievably cold we asked him to take us to a bar off the beaten path so we could have a cocktail, and he could tell us his stories. He over delivered! Highly recommend.”
Walk Greenwich Village at 8 p.m. with a guide such as Joel, Maddy, Nicole, or Cameron, hearing ghost stories and true crime tales tied to Washington Square Park, NYU, Cherry Lane Theatre, and more. Expect about two hours of walking, standing, and spooky New York history.
“Had a blast and great tour! Loved all of Joel's stories. Would recommend 10/10. Perfect activity for a little fun and a little history.”
Walk Greenwich Village from Waverly Diner to Marie’s Crisis Café while your private guide connects haunted sites with New York stories. You may be led by Rory, Nicole, Luke, Gabby, or another local guide. Expect two hours of evening walking, free outdoor stops, and a personal pace.
“The wealth of knowledge and content. Guide Luke was warm and easy going. He possessed a genuine “I m excited to be here with you “ attitude”
Walk through Greenwich Village after dark with an English-speaking guide and a group of up to 10. Hear ghost stories at Washington Square Park, the Brown Building, 14 West 10th Street, Stonewall, and Chumley’s, with plenty of local history along the way.
“Exciting and well told! Very dark on some streets, almost lost our guide! I was bringing up the caboose with another member of our organization, making sure nobody got lost when I almost did.”
Meet your guide at Washington Square North at 8 p.m. for a small-group walk through Greenwich Village. Hear ghost tales, local history, and stories tied to Washington Square Park and Waverly Place. Guides such as Marcus, John, Marlina, and Trevor are known for lively storytelling, though the experience can vary by guide.
“We had a stellar time with our guide, Sarah. She was informative, entertaining, and was great with our 11-year-old son. We loved the stories, the add-on of the EMF reader (highly recommend) and seeing parts of the neighborhood we never would have otherwise. It was one of the highlights from our entire NYC trip.”
Join Haunted Manhattan at 7:30 pm for a 13-stop East Village walk covering a historic bar, The Public theater, and Manhattan’s Most Haunted House. Guides such as Charlie and Frankie mix spooky stories with local history for believers and skeptics alike.
“Our tour guide Frankie was absolutely Phenomenal. The tour was filled with scary stories and some great historical facts. My daughter (14 yrs) and cousin (13 yrs old) really enjoyed the tour too. I definitely will recommend to my NYC friends ☺”
