Top 10 Ghost & Vampire Tours in New York, United States

June 20, 2021 Terina Blouin

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Haunted Manhattan offers the most accurate—and FUN—ghost tours in the city! On our Greenwich Village tour, a secret underworld of ghosts and ghouls reveals itself as you’re guided through the streets by "noted professor of anthropology & the supernatural," The Professor. The Professor will guide you to 13 haunted locations, from Washington Square Park, a former potter's field and now the beating heart of the Village that seems to host multiple famous spirits (including a ghost dog!), to the former home of Mark Twain that may also hold malevolent spirits, telling you tales of haunted dorm buildings, churches, fire houses, theaters, and more along the way... A historical, hilarious, and completely hair-raising experience, Haunted Manhattan will show you the greatest city there is, like you’ve never seen it before.

My daughter and I went to Nee York for the first time and decided to go on a haunted tour. It was late in the season on a week night and we were the only two but they took us anyway. Vinny was our guide and she was awesome. She was entertaining, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the west tour. Enjoy!

A historical, hilarious, and completely hair-raising experience, Haunted Manhattan will show you the greatest city there is, like you’ve never seen it before.

while the tour is advertised as "haunted" and we do get to hear scary stories about the various ghosts that perhaps inhabit buildings around Washington Square Park, the best part of the tour for me was the actual history that inspires the ghost stories. some of this history is more than 300 years old !!! our "professorial" guide (himself perhaps a rather vivid spectral being) is well-informed, congenial, and makes a personal connection with each person individually in the tour. the suggestions for a good pub afterwards were appreciated and I've been thinking about what I learned over the week that has transpired since this fun event (follow-up, in response to the questions below, there was no gear or equipment to sanitize unless people are NOT sanitizing their own disposable masks)

Did the Statue of Liberty tour on Monday 5/10 and it was a deeeeeelight! James was amazing and is full of pertinent facts and information! As soon as our group arrived James told us what to expect on the tour and let us know that he was available and encouraging of being our personal photographer! Ask for James, you won’t be disappointed- he is the keeper all of things Liberty Enlightening the World (I hope I’m remembering that fact right!) buuuuuuut, the company could put more signage around because there is none until the actual entrance to the building, but that’s not James’ fault- we found his flag!

I'm not one to get spooked easily or a firm believer of the spirits, but there were some pretty spooky parts. Alyssa, our tour guide, was great and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of Greenwich Village. As a new local to the city, it was the perfect combination of a history lesson and fascinating ghost stories that my partner and I were looking for. For me, it's especially surreal to know that I have passed by the house that John Wilks Booth stayed the night before he went on to make history without even knowing it dozen of times before I went on this tour. I would recommend it to anyone that likes any sort of dark history or paranormal activities.

On our East Village tour, a secret underworld of ghosts and ghouls reveals itself as you’re guided past 13 haunted stops by the clever, witty, and endlessly entertaining Frankie, a bartender who’s used to dealing with patrons who just don’t want to heed Last Call. From the ghost train at the Astor Place subway stop, to haunted screams in the night on Bond Street, to a cellar where one of America's greatest writers might still be sipping on some amontillado, you’ll see both landmarks and dive bars that make the East Village the legend that it is—and hear the stories of the spirits that call this area home. A historical, hilarious, and completely hair-raising experience, Haunted Manhattan will show you the greatest city there is, like you’ve never seen it before.

I’ve been on several tours like this and have learned so much about this history of whatever city I’m in. This NYC tour was equal parts informative history and great fun! A unique and relaxing way to spend a couple of hours. Hannah was a great guide; she has a quick wit and charm...and no corny jokes. You won’t regret this tour!

Debi K. was our exceptional walking tour guide with lovingly unconventional humor and unique, really scary ghost stories at every location visited. At unexpected moments I actually felt chills go down my spine! WooooHoooo! Everyone in our group had a lot of fun and learned so many historical and architectural tidbits. This tour truly opened the door for me once again since I was a child, to believe in ghosts and their true purpose of actually existing.

Last minute plans - everyone else on the lake completely booked. Found a time slot for two jet skis and a kayak with less than a day notice. Fantastic time. Great friendly service despite it being chaotically busy. Will rent here again.
