It's called Old Salem for a reason

5.00Great tour with interesting history around each location. Peyton was hilarious and really put her spin on the stories, as well as her experiences with them. The lantern is an added plus on their part 👻👻

5.00My experience was quite a pleasurable one. The haunt expedition was great because I learned some historical facts that involved the state of North Carolina that I wasn’t aware of. The tour guide was quite entertaining and attentive to her observations of the group and what we wanted to know.
Great evening out

5.00Kim, our guide, did an awesome job! She was passionate about all the stories she shared. She had a clear speaking voice that was easy to listen to as well as be heard. There were hills but she was very respectful in traveling so all could keep up. Be prepared for hot summer weather. I was thankful I had my water bottle and fan. My sister and I really enjoyed our experience.
