Took this tour on 6/16 and the tour is very informative and fun. Bring your camera and set on high speed capture. Jeff led the tour and had a great time talking with him.

The tour guide told a lot of interesting stories about local folklore, hauntings, and ghost stories. The tour kept moving around the city, from place to place, but it was at an easy pace. The stories were interesting and told well. Everyone in our group labeled themselves as cynics; however, after one of the stories, my husband told me he thinks he saw that ghost earlier in the day (and yes, he was serious)!

Glad you enjoyed the tour.. It's wise to be skeptical and to try and debunk sightings. We always say the best way to convince a skeptic is to have them see something. We cannot guarantee you will see a ghost, but glad he may have seen something.

My teenage daughters and I really enjoyed this activity. Our guide, James, was full of energy and one-liners, keeping the tour fun and engaging - not scary by any means. (If anyone was born to entertain, it's him.) The value is great, 90 minutes' worth of a tour, the longest activity we experienced in Salem. Plus, everything seems to shut down in Salem pretty early in the evenings, so it was nice to have a family-friendly activity to do past 6 pm. Definitely recommend.
