I am a local, and have been to Salem many times. I wanted a tour that was beyond the usual witch sites (happy that we did not stop by the "Bewitched" statue). I thought that this a great tour! Topher, our guide was personable and very informative. He told great stories about true murders, and scary ( and sad) events that occurred from the 1600's to the 21st century. A whole different perspective on Salem:

It was fine... A lot of standing around in parking lots and looking at phone pictures... We were hoping a night adult tour would be a bit creepier.. I do these in many cities and it wasn't my favorite but our guide was very nice.

Samantha was an amazing guide!! She was knowledgeable on both the history and paranormal side of the town. She was funny but also knew how to keep control of the crowd and make sure nobody missed out. She made our experience awesome! The photos and stories she told were very interesting.
