Dare to Begin the Ride

The trolley, winding through the roads of Boston, will lead you to 2 of the 3 oldest cemeteries in the city that are about 400 years old. The King’s Chapel Burying Ground is the oldest of the three cemeteries, where you can visit the allegedly haunted King’s Chapel’s Strangers Tomb.

A Haunted Hotel Straight Out of a Horror Movie
