If you're craving something beyond the typical ghost tour, something darker, grimmer, and far more spine-chilling, then Requiem for Salem is the experience you've been dying for. This is Salem's premier adults-only ghost tour, rated a haunting 4.7 stars, from 88 reviews by guests who've walked its shadowy path and made unforgettable (and unsettling) memories along the way.
This isn't your average evening stroll through historic streets. Requiem for Salem is where Salem's darkest tales come to life, stories soaked in death, despair, and the lingering spirits left behind. From brutal executions to unrelenting curses, this tour explores the side of Salem that most tours won't touch. And with mature themes, strong language, and no holds barred, this tour is strictly for ages 16 and up.
Whether you're visiting Salem for its witch trial legacy, drawn to the paranormal, or simply love stories that chill you to the bone, Requiem for Salem is the ghost tour for people who want to stare into the abyss, and hear it whisper back.

Average rating, 88 reviews
Our guide, Gabrielle, was amazing! She grew up in the area and had a lot of history knowledge sprinkled with her own childhood memories. Since the group was smaller than others we saw, I think we benefitted!
Gabe was an awesome tour guide! The weather was a bit wetter than we all would have liked, but Gabe made us forget all about it. He was funny, informative, detailed and helpful. I would absolutely take another tour with him!

The Requiem For Salem Ghost Tour FAQ
Everything you need to know before you go
Why is the Requiem for Salem Tour adults-only?
The Requiem for Salem Tour is designed for guests 16 and older due to its mature themes, graphic historical content, and strong language. This tour explores Salem's darkest stories, including brutal executions, disturbing true crime, and the grim realities of the witch trials without filters. It's not appropriate for children.
What makes the Requiem tour different from the Ghosts of Salem Tour?
While both tours explore Salem's haunted history, the Requiem for Salem Tour delves into much darker territory with no content restrictions. It includes disturbing details, graphic historical accounts, and mature themes that are omitted from our family-friendly tour. Many guests describe it as the most intense and chilling ghost tour they've ever experienced.
How long is the Requiem for Salem Tour?
The Requiem for Salem Tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and covers about one mile of walking through historic Salem. Despite the darker content, the walking pace is comfortable with regular stops for storytelling at key haunted locations.
What time does the Requiem for Salem Tour start?
The Requiem for Salem Tour runs nightly at 9pm from March through November. We recommend booking in advance, especially during October, as this popular adults-only tour frequently sells out.
Are pets allowed on the Requiem tour?
Yes, well-behaved leashed pets are welcome to join the Requiem for Salem Tour. Just keep in mind that some of the content and storytelling may be intense, so use your judgment about whether your pet would be comfortable.
Where does the Requiem for Salem Tour meet?
The tour meets at 51 Charter Street in front of the Old Burying Point Cemetery (also known as Charter Street Cemetery), on the side near the Peabody Essex Museum. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early. Parking in Salem can be challenging, so we recommend taking an Uber or pedicab to the meeting location.
Is The Requiem For Salem Ghost Tour a Walking Tour?
Yes, all tours offered by Ghost City Tours, including The Requiem For Salem Ghost Tour is a walking Ghost Tour. Don't worry, our tours are only about a mile in length and you'll have plenty of chances to sit and enjoy the stories along the way. Why be crammed into a Trolley, next to people you don't know, when you can experience our haunted locations as they were meant to be experienced?
