It’s officially October and spooky season is in full swing. If you like to take a walk on the haunted side, check out the most haunted restaurants in Boston, where you can get a drink or a slice of pie with a side of otherworldly eeriness.

Where: Charlestown
Info: Warren Tavern is one of the oldest restaurants in the country so it’s not a huge surprise that there may be some spirits lurking. The tavern was frequented by Paul Revere and George Washington’s funeral speech was given there. People have reported seeing figures in powdered wigs roaming the halls.
Where: Downtown
Info: This isn’t just the home of the first slice of Boston Cream Pie, it’s also an incredibly haunted site. Though ghosts have been seen wandering all over the hotel, Room 303, the site of an unsolved murder, is known to be the hub of paranormal activity. There are frequent reports of seeing the original owner Harvey D. Parker as well. He supposedly materializes at the foot of your bed and asks how your stay is going. Spooky.
Where: Beacon Hill
Info: This spot, a favored watering hole for employees of the State House next door, is supposedly haunted by feminism. The space was originally a men-only club and when they finally put in a ladies restroom they had to carve it into a creepy back corner of the restaurant. Many diners have reported seeing a disgruntled Victorian woman in the darkly lit bathroom.
Where: Downtown
Info: This tavern dates back to 1795 and it’s the oldest and longest operating tavern in the United States. Rumor has it that Paul Revere himself haunts this historic spot, enjoying a drink after the labor of his long ride.
Where: Downtown
Info: The Union Oyster House is the oldest restaurant in Boston (we have so many oldest titles here in The Hub!) and they’ve been serving up clam chowder and other classics since 1826. Locals claim the restaurant is haunted by the residents who used to live upstairs. People have reported seeing a fashionable nineteenth-century woman walking through the space.
Where: Beacon Hill
Info: The Liberty Hotel used to serve as the Charles Street Jail where grim Boston criminals served their time. It housed some famous inmates including anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti and Whitey Bulger. Diners and hotel guests have felt the shiver-inducing presence of former jailmates throughout the property.
