Beacon Hill With A BOO! Halloween Event October 31, 2011

Walk over the dark side on All Hallows' Eve and there's no better place to do it than on Beacon Hill. Hear stories of ghosts, murders and mayhem that haunt this quiet neighborhood while walking among the Halloween decorations and the people who come to Beacon Hill every year to celebrate.

If you have never been to Beacon Hill on Halloween, this is one of those must-see events in Boston.

This Halloween event highlights Beacon Hill's rich heritage of mystery and suspense. See the home of the murdered George Parkman and learn what happened to his dismembered body. See where the Quakers were hanged and famous men buried, and many more scenes of the macabre.

Apparitions of lawyers and ministers, murderers who walk in their sleep, stranglers, and cautionary tales for lovers. Join one of our many docents on a journey through the true and morbid tales that haunt Beacon Hill this Halloween.
