Book through our links and Spookt gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you. It keeps the research going. How that works
Ghost City Tours says this tour has no kid-friendly filters and gives a candid look at the paranoia behind the witch trials. It tells 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.

Restaurant
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.
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
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.
