Just finished the Ghosts of New York Walking Tour — so spooky!

I went on the Ghosts of New York Walking Tour last weekend, and it was awesome! Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared some creepy stories about Edgar Allan Poe and the Hangman’s Tree. The West Village is so atmospheric at night! I didn’t see any ghosts, but the history was fascinating. Totally worth it for anyone who loves a good scare or ghost stories. Also, wear good walking shoes!
