About This Tour
Salem Ghosts, the US Ghost Adventures brand, built this walk around the ghost stories of Salem’s best-known buildings: the Witch House, Ropes Mansion, Turner’s at Lyceum Hall, the Salem Inn, and the Joshua Ward House. The guide tells them from outside, with the witch trials as the background. It’s a good first ghost walk in Salem.

Places This Tour Covers
Restaurant
Turner’s Seafood at Lyceum Hall
An 1867 history puts Bridget Bishop's orchard on the ground under Lyceum Hall. Turner's Seafood, the restaurant there now, says the ghost of Bishop, the first person hanged in the 1692 witch trials, still haunts and oversees the building.
Inn
The Salem Inn
Privateer captain Nathaniel West built the house that holds the Salem Inn's Room 17, which the inn calls its 'famous Haunted Room.' Guides say the staff swear to three ghosts: Katherine, a small child, and a black cat in the parlor.
Hotel
Joshua Ward House
The Merchant hotel fills the Joshua Ward House, built on the foundation of witch-trial sheriff George Corwin's house. Popular tradition blames Corwin for making it Salem's most haunted, though the Salem Witch Museum counts that among the 'numerous myths' about him.
House
The Witch House
Often called the only building still standing with direct ties to the 1692 witch trials, Judge Jonathan Corwin's house is still open to visitors.
