If you've lived in Boston, walked Boston streets, and dealt with Boston drivers, by this time probably nothings scares you in this city.

Don't be so sure.

Old Town Trolley has brought back its "Ghosts and Gravestones" Tour for its tenth year. Lasting two hours, the jaunt around Boston's spookier sights takes place in a trolley car adorned in black bunting. The special, narrated tour of Boston's spookier sights includes the frightening tales which took place at these sites — all of which are true. Among the sites and the stories covered on the tour are:

- The mystery of the Boston Strangler
- "The Hanging Tree" at Boston Common
- The story behind Boston Harbor's "Lady in Black"

Other sites — and the scary stories behind them — include the Omni Parker House Hotel, Lewis Wharf, and the "most haunted building in Boston". The tour also includes a walk and narration at the Old Granary Burying Ground, as well as Copp's Hill.

Tickets are $32 for adults and $19 for children.
