About This Tour
Ghost City Tours positions this as the family and first-visitor version of its Salem walk, with storytelling it calls spooky but not too scary. The listing names the Witch House, Old Town Hall (where guests report apparitions in the windows) and the House of the Seven Gables, whose Woman in White the operator says is its best-known ghost. It suits families and first-time visitors.

Old Town Hall
Salem's oldest surviving town building went up in 1816 and 1817 where merchant Elias Derby's mansion stood, and legend has it Derby's ghost haunts it, still unhappy that his house was torn down.
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.
