Salem Ghosts Haunted Tours

Led by lantern-bearing guides, visitors walk through Salem's cobblestone streets to uncover the dark history of the 1692 Witch Trials and local ghostly lore. The outdoor route stops outside historic landmarks such as the Burying Point Cemetery, the Witch House, and the Joshua Ward House. Retold through historical research and eyewitness accounts, the stories cover the accused, vengeful judges, and restless maritime spirits.
