Granary Burying Ground - reported unexplained phenomena

The Granary Burying Ground, established in 1660 and resting place of Revolutionary-era figures such as Samuel Adams and John Hancock, is commonly cited in Boston ghost tours and local folklore as a site of alleged unexplained sensations and sightings by visitors. These anecdotal reports are documented in tour literature and regional media accounts that discuss the cemetery’s age and historical associations. Such reports are part of local tradition and are debated rather than scientifically established.
