Halloween Walking Tour

Haunted Walking Tour of the East & West Village

Take a stroll through the East and West Villages' haunted history with New York By All Means' Halloween Walking Tour. Find out why the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe was said to haunt an area house -- and why he stopped. Pay a visit to the Seabury Tredwell House, the only intact 19th-century family home in New York City -- and one with a long history of ghost sightings. Walk through a public park over the buried bodies of over 20,000 unknown people. You'll also make a stop at McSorley's Old Ale House, the oldest "Irish" tavern in the city, where you'll get the scoop on how Halloween came to America. The roughly three-hour walking tour finishes up at the graveyard of St. Mark's in-the-Bowery, which was once the site of a grave robbery.
