Salem's name has been shadowed since 1692, when a wave of witchcraft accusations swept this Massachusetts town and ended with twenty innocent people executed and hundreds more imprisoned. The hysteria faded, but the town it left behind never quite recovered its peace. Ghost City Tours walks the streets of historic Salem after dark, from the leaning stones of the Old Burying Point to the shadowed windows of the Ropes Mansion, where the dead of the witch trials and the centuries since are said to linger.
Our local guides tell the true, researched history behind haunted Salem — the accusers and the accused, the executions, and the hauntings tied to the Witch House and the Old Salem Jail. Whether you take the family-friendly Ghosts of Salem Tour, spooky but never too scary, the adults-only Requiem for Salem Tour into the grim side of the trials, or the daytime Salem Witch Trial Tour tracing the real story from meetinghouse to execution ground, every stop is a place where Salem's past still presses close.
Ghost City Tours has been telling Salem's darkest stories since 2012, meeting nightly at the Old Town Hall in the heart of the historic district. Book your Salem ghost tour today and see why this small New England town remains one of the most haunted places in America.
