Many people believe in the paranormal, in spirits and djinn and unknown activity. And while we have reports and evidence of such occurrences all around Salem, it is our history that is truly terrifying. For it is humanity that is the real monster. Join us on our 90min walking tour as we learn about brutal murders, strange legal battles, secret passages, curses, spiders, and of course, torture.

This tour was a waste of money. The tour guide was horrible at telling stories, it was hard to follow his train of thought, and worst of all, it wasn't even interesting or spooky. I knew we weren't going to see ghosts, but this should not be advertised as a ghost tour. It is a history lesson about the area from a tour guide who didn't know his history. Wish I could get my money back

Join your local guide for a trip back in history as they share the story of Salem’s founding in 1626 by Puritans, whose search for religious freedom ultimately ended in a wave of fear, suspicion, and anger that gripped Salem for one fateful year in 1692. Your tour will include stops at some of Salem’s most popular locations, like the Witch House, Chestnut Street, & Burying Point Cemetery, and some secluded off-the-beaten-path locations that very few tourists get to experience. Along the way, your guide, an experienced storyteller, will recount all the details of the witchcraft hysteria & share Salem’s spookiest local legends of hauntings from 1600s through the present day. All tours meet outside of Coon’s Card and Gift Shop. 2 hours (All ages)
