The location of the dungeon where the accused witches were held and tortured as they awaited trial and execution! Here you learn the history of the Witch Trials, the fanatical Puritans, and my favorite Witch Trials character, Tituba, the innocent enslaved woman who might have been a clandestine practitioner of Voodoo! Quite possibly the most active haunted site in Salem. Make sure to take lots of photographs here!

Bridget Bishop's land. You will recognize this stop if you ever watch the ghost hunter shows. Relentlessly haunted by the restless spirit of one of the most ornery Witch Trials victims.

Great Night Time Ghost Tour

Great tour! Had no idea that an hour had already flown by and learned a lot along the way. As a local, I really enjoyed it.

Last minute decisions give a lifetime of memories

Mike was a great guide, storyteller and supernatural expert. I was traveling alone for business and decided last minute that I needed to visit Salem. So I went online and saw this tour starting at 8pm. I enjoyed every minute and learned a lot. I highly recommend if you visit Salem. you won't regret it.

Add this tour on your To-Do list !

LOVED IT 🖤✨ Visited from Montreal with my 9year old and the tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and was able to condense lots of information in a short amount of time. Easy to follow and loved the "sneak peak" information about the ghosts stories and rumours that were going on in Salem during the area. We visited during the 2pm tour, personally it might've been too intense for my child to hear the same gory details while there isn't any sun outside 😅☀️ Worth every penny !
