Dani put on a very fun and informative tour full of ghost stories and the Salem Witch trials. If you can only book one tour on your Salem visit this is the one.

Mark was our tour guide and I felt he was informative and knew his stuff when asked questions. He didn't look you in the eye when talking but I chalk that up to his brain working on overdrive to remember everything and possibly having eye contact anxiety. All in all, for the price, the info presented was sufficient, even if not all that entertaining.

Our tour guide did not wait until his group was all together before talking. Some in our group were older and a bit slower. He had plenty of time to wait for everyone to be present before talking. We missed a lot of the history, etc. We would have been better off to have picked up a map and go at our own pace.

The trials were 330 years ago and the buildings are gone. The Witch House is the home of Judge Corwin. It's called the witch house because of his ties to the witch trials. We know the site of the executions, but nobody knows what tree was used to hang the witches. Nobody knows if the tree still exists. And the debate rages as to whether they used a tree for the first hanging and then built a gallows. We know the locations of many of the events. Every tour in Salem has the same issue, but at least our tour shows pictures we've found from old books of people's homes and locations where events happened that are too far to walk. We walk about a mile because many locations were centered in the downtown area.
