Investigation Night Walking

About This Tour

Guides teach investigation techniques, and the group uses spirit boxes, flashlights and laser light grids to look for anomalies, though the operator says it can’t guarantee a sighting. Cemetery stops are at the edge only, since the tour doesn’t go in after dark. It’s for people who want to try investigating rather than only hear stories, and the listing speaks directly to skeptics.

Old Town Hall

Salem's oldest surviving town building went up in 1816 and 1817 where Elias Derby's mansion stood, and Salem Ghosts says Derby's ghost haunts it, still unhappy that his house was torn down.

Cemetery

Howard Street Cemetery

Ghost tours say Giles Corey was pressed to death on this ground in 1692 and cursed the sheriff and Salem as he died, though the cemetery opened in 1801 and the Salem Witch Museum puts his death in an open field near the jail.

Cemetery

Old Burying Point (Charter Street Cemetery)

Salem's oldest burying ground, laid out in 1637, holds witch-trial judge John Hathorne, and the woman in white said to walk among its stones is Mary Corey, first wife of Giles Corey, as the Boston Globe told it in 2018.
