After a sufficient dose of haunting and supernatural stories, the tour winds down at dinner with the guide and other apparition enthusiasts at the Jekyll and Hyde Bar, which is the most popular haunted hangout in Greenwich Village.

Uncle Sam’s New York will be offering this tour daily from Friday, October 26th through Saturday, October 31st for a total of nine days running. The tour lasts two hours and will start at 2pm under the Washington Square Arch at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Waverly Place.

This tour is certain to raise the hair on necks, make the darkness look even scarier and bring about ghoulish sights and sounds from Washington Square Park.
