Salem’s ghost tours are walks, and they tell their stories from outside Old Town Hall, the Witch House, and the Old Burying Point more than anywhere else. Most mix the 1692 trials with the ghost stories that came after. Bewitched Tours leans toward history, and Spellbound Tours adds voodoo and vampires.
