Getting bloody with Ghosts & Gravestones

These 'gravediggers' are ready to dig in. The tour visits the sites of Boston's most grotesque and notorious murders and legends, from the Boston Strangler to the Angel of Death. To cap the tour, passengers get a rare treat: a stroll through two of Boston's most famous graveyards, Copp's Hill Burying Ground and the Granary Burying Ground -- after dark. From left, the diggers are Julia Cook, Evan O'Brien, Kat Kingsley, Mike Manship, and Steven Johnson.
