Stories of Salem: Dark History and Murder Night Tour

Stories of Salem: Dark History and Murder Night Tour

Overview

When you hear people talk about Salem, often times the first thing that comes to mind is Witches, and Halloween, and ghosts and spooky fun, but there's so much more lurking in the shadows. Salem is nearly 400 years old and just like all of us, it has a dark side. An underbelly wrought with stories for the ages. Join us for our 90 min evening walking tour as we wander through the shadows and hear stories about pirates and pepper, secrets of the oldest cemetery in Salem, brutal murders, strange legal battles, curses, spiders, torture, and of course a ghost story or two. We invite you to be part of our story and Uncover Salems dark past. -All tour guides are licensed by the City of Salem and are professional storytellers .

Great tour with Christian who was knowledgeable and funny about the history of Salem. We took the 6:30 tour which was great to hear these spooky stories at night

There was no tour, tour provider did not have the tour Viator set up. We waited, then I contacted provider and was informed about the discrepancy . Very disappointed. I’m putting in for reimbursement today.

Hello, I have gone ahead and approved the refund that you submitted. I again wanted to apologies. As I explained on the phone we had no record of your booking and did not have a 7pm tour that evening. Im sorry you felt you needed to leave a one star review. I wish we had been able to accommodate you but unfortunately we had no record of your booking due to a system error with Viator which was completely outside of our control.

Everything was a lie didn’t see one witch🧙 . Extremely disappointed. We could barely hear the tourist because her speaker wasn't working.

Ah yes. We lied about Houdini coming here in 1906, and about the 1830 murder of Captain White, and even about the Witch Trials in 1692! We are EVER so sorry that you didn't see any witches or ghosts... I guess you're gonna have to go do some Witch Hunting and Ghost Hunting on your own I suppose, let us know how that goes for you! Have the day you deserve, buddy.
