House
Gardner-Pingree House
Captain Joseph White was murdered in his bed here in 1830, a killing Daniel Webster prosecuted, and Salem Ghosts says his footsteps are still heard and a child in white looks out of a downstairs window.

About This Tour
The listing says this tour sticks to ghost and paranormal accounts, drawn from residents’ experiences and investigators’ research, and that it does not discuss the 1692 witchcraft trials (the operator points history seekers to another tour). Stops include the Ropes Mansion garden, Charter Street Cemetery, the Witch House, the Merchant Hotel and the Gardner-Pingree House. It is a ghost-first walk for guests who want documented-haunting stories and, per the listing, analysis of any ghost photos they take.

Places
Places This Tour Covers
House
Ropes Mansion
The Ropes Mansion's front played a part in Disney's Hocus Pocus in 1993, and Salem Ghosts tells of Abigail Ropes, who died after an accident by the fireplace and is said to linger in its rooms.
Bar
Rockafellas
Rockafellas fills the 1826 First Church building on Essex Street, and its co-owners told CBS Boston that a ghost they call the Lady in Blue first showed up on the restaurant's computer screen, two days before the computer died.
Hotel
Joshua Ward House
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
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.
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 the one you can still walk into.
