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.

Prepare for your trip in advance by listening to my podcast Effed Up History!

Very funny and knowledgeable tour guide. She is full of information and and doesn’t try to sugar coat the truth with kiddy stuff. Definitely worth the money, way more personable than the competing tours. she’s amazing!!!

Krystina was an excellent historian and was a very engaging tour guide. I loved the narrative she chose for the Salem witch trials. Walking away feeling enlightened and grateful to have learned so much about Salem in a matter or two hours.

My goal and dream for this tour is for people to have a good time but walk away feeling like they learned something. I so appreciate your review and that I achieved that goal for you. Thank you!
