Ghost tour in Salem
Run by Wicked Awesome Tours
Book through our links and Spookt gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you. It keeps the research going. How that works
The listing leads with the trials, their victims, accusers, and the people who took part, then moves to hauntings in buildings, cemeteries, hotels, and former jails. It also covers Salem’s history of war, piracy, and business, along with Hocus Pocus locations and what it calls humorous tales. It is aimed at visitors who want the trial history first and the ghost stories as one part of a wider tour.

Places
Hotel
The Merchant hotel fills the Joshua Ward House, built on the foundation of witch-trial sheriff George Corwin's house. Popular tradition blames Corwin for making it Salem's most haunted, though the Salem Witch Museum counts that among the 'numerous myths' about him.
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.
