A note from Iren Gurarye
“My name is Iren, and I want to welcome you to New York! I'm a professional New York City tour guide and an avid storyteller. I enjoy wrapping New York's multilayered, complicated history into stories that make the city come alive. I'm in love with New York's energy and rhythm and am always amazed at its many feels and faces. Besides being a guide and a writer, I also dance swing: the dance born here in the 1920s and set to jazz - the best soundtrack for New York City.”
The mission: Your story in New York City
Last night, you were at a bar, feeling sorry for yourself. A person, nicely dressed in an expensive business attire, somehow just appeared next to you. Fitting your mood, the conversation quickly took a turn towards macabre. The stranger began telling you the legend of The Ghost of Wall Street.

Wall Street context
A ghost story on streets that helped form the United States
Federal Hall on Wall Street stands on the site of New York’s colonial city hall and the first seat of the United States government. George Washington was inaugurated there in 1789, and the First Congress worked there on the Bill of Rights. The ghost is fiction; the Financial District’s political and commercial history is real. Playable languages: English.
