Ghost tour in Salem
Run by Wicked Awesome Tours
Book through our links and Spookt gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you. It keeps the research going. How that works
The listing leads with the trials, their victims, accusers and the people who took part, then moves to hauntings in buildings, cemeteries, hotels and former jails. It also covers Salem’s war, piracy and business history, Hocus Pocus locations and what it calls humorous tales. It is aimed at visitors who want the trial history first and the ghost stories as one part of a wider tour.
Checked daily. Times and the meeting point are on Viator.
Places
Hotel
Popular tradition calls the Joshua Ward House, now The Merchant hotel, Salem's most haunted, blaming Sheriff George Corwin, whose 1692 home stood here, though the Salem Witch Museum counts that among the 'numerous myths' about him.
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.
