The Salem Night Tour is devoted to unearthing the stories Salem refuses to forget. With over 4,000 five-star reviews and twenty years in Salem, we have become the city's most trusted after-dark experience. Our guides are steeped in Salem’s deep-rooted ghost stories and history, unscripted, and devoted to getting it right. Salem after dark feels like an entirely different city, and these stories belong to the night. Centered around sites like Bridget Bishop's homestead, the iron gates of Salem's oldest cemetery, and the site where Giles Corey was pressed to death, our tours cover Salem's documented hauntings and enduring history. Check in early at Remember Salem on Essex Street, where Wynotts Wands, the Ouija Board Museum, and the Halloween Museum are all within steps. The experience starts before the tour does.

5.00Elaina is a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable, engaging and funny which made the tour thoroughly enjoyable. It was a nicely paced stroll around key places with a good mix of stories covering the history, ghosts and witch trials. Elaina was great at answering questions raised throughout the tour and also offered to cover more at the end which would have been great to hear but unfortunately we had to rush off to catch the train.
Great Experience

5.00Sebastian made it so much fun! We got a deal because we went to one of the museums. I’m local to MA, but I like to go to Salem every now and then, I could always listen to stories about Salem’s history, it still makes me tear up. Nonetheless, I still learned something new on this tour! Sebastian was very informative and told the stories very well. We had a small group, my boyfriend & I and another couple. This tour is great for couples, maybe kids if they’re not afraid of things. Sebastian brings a great energy to history, and I would love to take another tour with him again.
Great history and ghost tour
