About This Tour

Ghost City Tours says this tour has no kid-friendly filters and gives a candid look at the paranoia behind the witch trials, with mature stories from Burying Point Cemetery and the hotel and bar buildings it visits. It is meant for guests 16 and over. It suits adults and older teens who want the more mature, less playful side of Salem’s ghost stories.

Places

Places This Tour Covers

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.

Restaurant

Turner’s Seafood at Lyceum Hall

An 1867 history puts Bridget Bishop's orchard on the ground under Lyceum Hall, and Turner's Seafood says the ghost of the first person hanged in 1692 still haunts and oversees the building.

Hotel

Hawthorne Hotel

Opened in 1925 on Washington Square, the Hawthorne Hotel made TripAdvisor's 2019 list of the country's scariest hotels, with one guest's review telling of crying and knocking outside the door at 3 a.m.

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.
