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 learn why true history is Better Than Fiction. -All tour guides are licensed by the City of Salem and are professional storytellers .

Jeff is an amazing guide and storyteller, bringing both humor and facts to the tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was a highlight of our trip to Salem. I would definitely recommend this tour and if I'm ever in Salem again, I would book another tour with Jeff.
