The Witch House in Salem was the residence of Judge Jonathan Corwin, one of the key figures who presided over the witch trials of 1692.

5.00This was a super exciting tour with lots of history. Sam, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He was an amazing story teller and gets you into the moment. I took my family with me and they loved it. We had a EMF reader and there are a lot of places where the meter turned a consent red which alerts the presence of ghosts. I highly recommend this tour.
Sam was a great guide

5.00This tour was really fun hitting the key stories and locations of the witch trials etc. The guide, Danielle was friendly and knowledgeable in the telling of the stories and answering questions. We paid extra for the EMF detector and the extended tour. Both were fun and worth it as it included a cemetery. Unfortunately we didn’t see any ghosts, maybe next time.
