Curses and Crimes Candlelight Tour

Overview

This tour is only given by Krystina, a historian specializing in the history of witchcraft that has presented academically both nationally and internationally.

This tour will talk about the darker side of Salem's history: the reality of the witch trials (both within and out of Salem), the Old Witch Gaol, the old County Jail, and the victims of the Salem witch trials.

This is an adult tour. We will discuss injustice, true crime, deaths, executions, the history of witch trials and mistreatment of individuals of various races, religions, and genders. I am not doing so with the intention of being obscene or extreme in any way, nor am I doing it for shock value. It is simply my passion to tell the history as close to reality as I can. I look forward to sharing the darker side of this beautiful city with you.

This tour with Krystina should be a MUST! She is VERY educated and tells your the reality of how everything really went down. It was a 2 hour tour that felt less than any hour because of how engaged we were to the stories and history she was sharing. Her knowledge and passion on Salem and the Witch Trials is incredible and everyone who wants to know the harsh reality of what was happening by someone who has thoroughly done their research, should absolutely book this tour with Krystina!! We could not have been happier and we could not recommend her more!
