Description

Executions, duels, strikes, and schemes have left a mark on Boston over the last 400 years. Join a seasoned US Ghost Adventures guide for a history-packed tour of the most harrowing true crime sites in the city.

From there, you’ll wind through 12 other stops, unlocking a new piece of history at each one. Stand where Benjamin Woodbridge fell, bleeding, after an 18th century duel.
