We have visited Salem from the UK, having wanted to go there for a long time. Booked this tour for an 8pm tour. Our guide was very nice and quite humorous but the ‘ghost ‘ tour was massively disappointing. At one point, we were taken on a fairly lengthy walk without any story. When we stopped, we were told how the guide had heard someone sigh behind him in the Salem Post Office building to find no one there. That was it! We then moved on to our final destination where we were expected to believe that a ghost had a lengthy conversation with our guide, telling him that if he didn’t get off his property, that the guide would become a ghost too! Very few reported or documented ghost stories, most were his personal experiences that held no real interest as they were far fetched. We had passed some other ghost tours the night before and they sounded much better, talking of ghost stories related to actual historical events.

We are sorry that you were disappointed. This guide does mention some of his personal stories and we can verify their truth because we have seen some of it happen. But he also stops and tells the hauntings at Rockafellas, Ropes Mansion, Hamilton Hall and the Broad Street Cemetery. It is a mix of personal ghost stories and local hauntings. Other tours will talk about the witchcraft trials or revolutionary history. We do that during the day starting at 1130 am. It is clearly stated that our ghost tour is about accidental death, murder and paranormal activity.

My husband, teenage daughter and I took the Haunted walking tour which began at 8 pm. Our guide was dressed in a Sherlock Holmes-type cape with a masquerade eye mask and hat. He did have a microphone so we had no problem hearing him which was good. He was very informative and took us around to the most haunted locations in Salem. We enjoyed the walking tour and took lots of photos.
