Ghosts of NOHO Walking Tour with Carl Raymond, The Gilded Gentleman
Including a special private visit inside “Manhattan’s most haunted house”!
The neighborhood around NOHO’s Astor Place has long been associated with reports of ghosts, hauntings and paranormal activity. And given its nearly 400-year-old history, it’s no wonder.
Join Carl Raymond, host of The Gilded Gentleman history podcast for a guided tour to some of the sites most associated with beings past and present who seem to still call this historic neighborhood home. Along the way, Carl will share aspects of the history of the area from early Dutch settlements to the world of the Astors at the beginning of the great Gilded Age.
The tour ends with a private tour inside the Merchant’s House Museum, a beautifully preserved home from the 1800s that has plenty of spooky stories.

Here’s what people are saying about Ghosts of NOHO:
“ Carl, our guide, was fantastic. He wasn’t working from a script; he’s an expert in his topics and his delivery was a combination of expertise, friendliness, personal experience, and humor. It was the kind of tour I hope I get and almost never do. If Carl is an example of the Bowery Boys’ tours — and given the quality of the podcast, I’m guessing he is, I would take any of their tours to any part of the city and know I’m in great hands and will come away fulfilled. “
