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 Salem Night Tour says its guides are unscripted and focused on getting the history right, and that the tour centers on Bridget Bishop’s homestead, the iron gates of Salem’s oldest cemetery and the site where Giles Corey was pressed to death. The listing adds the original witch gaol, the 1830 murder at the Gardner-Pingree House and a Hocus Pocus filming location. It blends ghost reports with history, for visitors who want both on one walk.

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, and Turner's Seafood says the ghost of the first person hanged in 1692 still haunts and oversees the building.
Other
Old Town Hall
Salem's oldest surviving town building went up in 1816 and 1817 where Elias Derby's mansion stood, and Salem Ghosts says Derby's ghost haunts it, still unhappy that his house was torn down.
Other
Salem Witch Jail
A plaque on Federal Street marks the lot where Salem's 1692 jail held the accused, and The Salem Night Ghost Tour says the ghost of four-year-old Dorothy Good still searches the ground for her mother.
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.
