This tour was truly, THE BEST ghost tour I have been on. Sebastian was so knowledgeable in the history of every street corner we passed. Sebastian went above and beyond answering questions, telling the history that was more in detail than the museums, and referencing back and forth between different points and time of history. A true historian with so much knowledge in the spiritual aspect of the tour.

The tour was awesome. The narrator was friendly funny and full of cool facts and gave us a great eat historical view. We learned things that we never knew and for a better understanding of what really happened with the puritans and the witch trials.

I've been looking forward to visiting Salem for a long time. My friends and I bought combo tickets for the Ouija Board Museum and a witch/ ghost tour. Our guide was Elaina Vrattos Jacobs. She is a captivating and passionate story teller. We learned so much, I'll never forget it. I was suprised by the amount of American history that is intertwined with Salem and the witch trials. The context really helps put things into perspective. I was suprised by how emotional I felt at times learning about the horrors of the witch trials. Sharing this experience with my friends made me feel closer to them. We had a wonderful time. Elaina definitely elevated our experience. Her demeanor and her accent really added to her story telling. Thank you Elaina!!!
