About This Tour
The listing says this is the only Salem tour focused on Friday the 13th, and it pairs folk superstitions (brooms, hats and black cats, wedding customs, death and mourning) with ghost stories. It is described as a limited edition run on that date only. Choose it for the folklore angle, with the ghost stories as a second thread.
