Ghosts of the Boroughs

Boroughs of the Dead Tour Guide Marie Carter is thrilled to present “Ghosts of the Boroughs.” In this spooky illustrated lecture you will learn about the haunted mansions of the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island, including stories of haunted bars, former insane asylums, monasteries, and creepy dolls. And you will learn about the ghosts that haunt your own backyard in Astoria.

About your lecturer:
Marie Carter grew up in Scotland near Edinburgh, a city bubbling with ghost stories. Her father was a bus tour guide in Edinburgh and he would often drive her around town quizzing her on historical facts. She now lives in Astoria, Queens and is a tour guide for Boroughs of the Dead. She created and leads the tour “Haunting Histories and Legends of Astoria”  and now also leads a tour in Roosevelt Island. She’s the author of The Trapeze Diaries and the editor of Word Jig: New Fiction from Scotland.
