Description
Boston has always looked respectable cobblestones, brownstones, and the Freedom Trail. This self-guided audio tour strips away the postcard and reveals thirteen true crime stories hiding in plain sight. Walk from Massachusetts General Hospital, where a Harvard professor dismembered a colleague in 1849, through the Back Bay streets terrorized by the Boston Strangler, to the North End blocks that once housed the New England Mob. GPS-triggered audio unlocks each story as you arrive. Download the app on Wi-Fi beforehand it works completely offline. Start, pause, and return at any time. Highlights: - Thirteen true crime stories spanning murder, fraud, mob rule, and a molasses flood. - Explore Boston's darkest history at your own pace no guide, no group, no fixed schedule. - GPS audio triggers automatically as you arrive at each location — no buttons, no guesswork. - Lifetime access included pause mid-tour and pick up where you left off, any time.
