Salem's Dark History: Witchcraft Hysteria

Overview

Join your local guide for a fascinating trip back in history as they share the story of Salem’s founding in 1626 by Puritans whose search for religious freedom ultimately ended in a wave of fear, suspicion, and anger that gripped Salem for one fateful year. Your tour will include stops at some of Salem’s most popular locations, and some secluded off-the-beaten-path locations that very few tourists get to experience. Along the way, your guide, an experienced storyteller, will recount details of the witchcraft hysteria & Salem’s unique dark history.

All tours meet at 226 Essex St. Salem- outside of Coon’s Card and Gift Shop.

I enjoyed our tour guide and she was very educated about everything that happened in the witch trials. She took us to historical sightings in Salem and for a first time visitor in Salem, I learned so much!

Our tour guide was very interesting to listen to and she had so much knowledge! I loved learning about the history of Salem and it was a really fun tour. She gives you ideas of where to go and what to see which is nice if it’s your first time in Salem! I would definitely recommend this for history lovers and those who are new to the Salem experience. I will definitely be coming back and do other tours as well! Thanks for the fun!
