What the Boston Ghost Tour is Really Like

It’s finally fall!

You know what that means. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, boots, sweaters… but most of all, Halloween!

You’re not really the party-type

So you and your best buds settle on the Ghost Tour.

You get there and are immediately harassed by people dressed in old-timey clothes that look like they’ve been hit buy a bus.

They take you into old graveyards and your cowardly friends won’t let go of your arms.

You drive by the Omni-Parker Hotel, but you don’t get to go inside, much to your disappointment.


Halfway through, you realize your tour guide/ghost lady goes to Emerson.

You spend the rest of the night avoiding eye contact.

And then when the tour is over, you sneak into the Marriott Waterfront Hotel because you have to pee like a racehorse and there are no public bathrooms.
