Explore the secrets of old Cambridge with a lantern-led walk through Harvard Square's historic haunts.

Travel back through history to witness the early days of Harvard Yard, learn about the city's ghastly tales of murder and uncover the truth behind some of Harvard Square's more infamous ghosts.

Which Ivy League hall is the Yard's most haunted? Who is Holbrook Smith? Which Harvard Square church boasts a ghost of a fallen redcoat? What was the Kirkland Street Nightmare?

The 90-minute long Harvard Scare walking tour leaves precisely at 7:30 p.m. seven nights a week--rain or shine--beginning Saturday, Sept. 1 until Wednesday, Oct. 31.

As far as haunted sites, the information will come directly from the upcoming "Ghosts of Boston: Haunts of the Hub" book which is hitting shelves in early September. In addition to the ghostlore, the haunted Harvard tour boasts spooky tales from the crypt pulled from the darker side of Cambridge's history.

Go to CambridgeHaunts.com to learn about our historically accurate tour. We promise no over-the-top scare tactics or fake Cockney accents. Yes, fact is stranger than fiction.
