Just in time for the spooky Halloween season, ExperienceFirst is adding a Haunted Boston Walking Tour to its roster of experiences that showcase local hot spots and famous landmarks in 12 major international cities. Touted as “where history and horror walk hand in hand,” the tour — led by experienced local guides — adds a new dimension to the usual historic walking tour, exploring sites of murder, the paranormal, and the turbulent past of the city where the American revolution was born. Both locals and visitors can learn some of Boston’s dark history and enjoy its frightful tales.

When the sun sets, you’ll meet in the Boston Common and set off on a leisurely 1.5-hour walk, beginning with the nearby “hanging tree” where early executions took place, followed by sites such as the sculpture of Mary Dyer, a Puritan-turned-Quaker referred to as the “White Witch” who was hanged for her religious beliefs; the Boston Athenaeum, an Italian Renaissance Revival building said to be haunted by the Reverend Thaddeus Mason Harris; the Boston Massacre site by the Old State House; the haunted Omni Parker House; various burial grounds; and more. Tours happen rain or shine, though full refunds are given for extreme weather events. Tours depart Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays at 4 p.m. It is recommended you arrive 15 minutes early. $34 per adult and child. www.exp1.com/boston-tours/haunted-boston-walking-tour
