West Village Haunted Tour
Description
Haunted Manhattan offers the spookiest, most accurate, and FUN ghost tours in New York! The West Village has been "Little Bohemia" for over 100 years, and the hang-out of artists and writers for even longer. Our Poet, Vinny, knows all the best stories of history, hauntings, and extraordinary encounters with the beyond… They'll take you to 13 haunted locations, sharing tales from a pesky poltergeist who likes to play with fire, to a chilling encounter with Edgar Allan Poe, to a dead speakeasy owner who’s not ready to let go of her enterprise. Vinny will make your walk through one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods into a chilling experience. 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.

Itinerary
One of the oldest independent theaters in New York, and home to several spirits...
Formerly an alley in an old French area of the Village...now the home to a tortured soul, a ghost chef, and a recurring apparition trying to live out what should have been the happiest moment of their life...
Manhattan's 2nd oldest continuously running bar, and home to many sightings of the spirit of the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas...
...we go to 13 stops in all, but we can't list them all here—that'd ruin the surprise!

Percy was awesome!! She had great historical insights and fun facts! Great for all ages - our 11 year old came with us and loved it! It was her first Ghost Walking tour. I did sneak a few photos of 2 of the locations and after looking at the photos we found a few suspicious faces in a window!! So cool! If you like literary history or just history with a few fun ghost stories, hit this tour up!! Thanks again Percy!
Our tour guide Percy did a wonderful job with the pace of the tour and adding a lot of personality to the history and the stories. I learned new things about my city as well as received recommendations for great new hangouts. I was also amazed to walk down streets that I had yet to visit after living here for years.
Percy was an amazing host! Loved what I learned about the different incidents related to the Ghost of New York, and loved seeing the neighborhood decorated in the spirit of Halloween!
I had a great time on this tour with several of my grad student colleagues. Our guide, Percy was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and provided an insightful tour of the haunts of West Village. I've been wanting to do this type of tour for years, and would def go on another one led by Percy. An hour and a half flew by, a decent amount of walking but I was so engaged by Percy's storytelling that I could have walked for another hour. Would definitely recommend this tour of West Village!
Enjoyed the stories and the tour guide’s knowledge of the area. Me and my partner enjoy the fact that it wasn’t just ghost story’s but the telling of historical events of the area.
I took my teenage kids and our cousins to the West Village Haunted Tour tonight and we absolutely loved it! Our tour guide Percy was so knowledgeable, very entertaining and so kind! We learned so much and it the area that we walked through was so beautiful. Highly recommend!!

The West Village tour exceeded our expectations! Percy (our tour guide) was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. The stories were very interesting and filled with history and the right amount of spookiness. We would definitely recommend Haunted Manhattan Tours!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and so great to hear you enjoyed your tour with our guide "Vinny!" ;) I hope you can join us for our other routes soon, too!
Awesome tour!!!! Great artist/performer, speaking loud and clear so any non-native English speaker would understand easily, really interesting stories with back up material, I would recommend it!!!
