Come on along for this frightfully fun and scary walk (2-3 mile) through the oldest parts of Boston visiting the oldest burying grounds in the city!  We'll be exploring the darkest and creepiest corners of four ancient graveyards, starting with the Central Burying Ground, the resting place for the remains of British soldiers who sadly died in Boston during the Revolution.  Next on the ramble will be the 1660 Granary Burying Ground where we'll gaze upon the graves of the five victims of the 1770 Boston Massacre, the resting spot of Samuel Sewall, the infamous judge at the Salem witch trials, then see the stone for Benjamin Woodbridge, victim of the first duel in Boston.  Next, it's on to the really ancient 1630 King's Chapel Burying Ground, site of purported spectral activity and of the grave of Elizabeth Pain, who wore a Scarlet Letter and was inspiration of the famous novel of that name.  Next, we'll stop by the spot where the well-known Boston Massacre took place, in front of the 1713 Old State House.  Meandering through historic and lively Quincy Market, we'll walk down the oldest streets in Boston (the Blackstone Block) on our way through the North End to the eerie 1659 Copps Hill Burying Ground, known to be one of the best spots in Boston for full-body apparition sightings!  There we'll make a somber visit to the tomb of Increase and Cotton Mather, the latter infamous as a witch hunter during the Salem witchcraft hysteria of 1692.  Then here's the grave of the notorious killer John Webster who heinously murdered George Parkman in 1849, in a famed early detective and forensic crime.  And then there's more... This will be the ghoulishly good time you will not want to miss!!  

We will meet at the entrance to the historic Central Burying Ground located near the corner of Boylston and Tremont Streets in downtown Boston.  Although there's no street number for the graveyard, the entrance is opposite 120 Boylston St. (an Emerson College building). For those taking the T (MBTA), the entrance is just around the corner from Boylston T Station.
