This book recounts the stories which are shared on the tour along with other ghost stories that have been historically verified. Simon was an amazing storyteller.

“We were so excited to take this tour and paid for the extended version. But our tour guide (Josh) did not know what tour he was leading and only talked maybe twice in the first 40 minutes about ghosts. The rest was about random historical information, but it did not make sense in the way he presented it (plus he was asking some of the other tour members if they knew the historical info). It was so bad that at just about 40 minutes in, my group plus three other groups, walked away even though we had another 40 minutes left. The tour guide started talking about Nazis bombing Boston…”
