Helltown Horrors and Pirates: A Self-Guided Tour of Provincetown

Overview

Provincetown’s charming seaside facades hide a sinister past soaked in blood, betrayal, and supernatural terror. On this chilling self-guided walking tour, you’ll discover the dark underbelly of Provincetown’s history, from bloodthirsty pirates and treacherous mooncussers who lured ships to their doom. I’ll also tell you about the restless spirits that continue to haunt the town’s historic buildings and picturesque streets. Starting at the infamous American Horror Story house, you’ll journey through Provincetown’s most haunted locations. You’ll explore historic cemeteries where smallpox victims lie in unmarked graves, and pass by former funeral homes that now operate as quaint inns. Along the way, you’ll discover how this seaside paradise earned its ominous nickname “Helltown” after centuries of maritime tragedy and malevolence.
