What To Expect

The Witch House at Salem

Welcome to Salem’s Witch House. Purchased in 1675 by Judge Jonathan Corwin, the Witch House is the only surviving structure with direct ties to Salem’s Witch Trials. It’s architecturally extraordinary and historically essential. Here you will learn all about Corwin, and the innocents he had executed.

Old Burying Point Cemetery

The Burying Point Cemetery, established in 1637, is one of the most prominent burial sites in Salem. Because of its age, every gravesite at the Burying Point unquestionably holds historical importance. One of the most important belongs to John Hathorne. You'll get to learn even more about the lives behind the spirits haunting these graves.

Peabody Essex Museum

We stand before the Peabody Essex Museum. Within these walls, you will find many of the original documents of the Salem Witch Trials. For the historians in tonight’s audience, this is a must-see stop. This is also where we would like to give you a few bits of information about the trials you may not find otherwise. This will be for “frequently asked questions,” so to speak.

Our tour guide was absolutely lovely, but we could not hear most of what she was saying. The haunted happenings around the village and crowds were SO LOUD, and our tour guide did not have a microphone.

The tour guide was clearly inexperienced and prone to telling unrelated personal stories. The information presented about the Witch Trials was disjointed and lacked a clear narrative about the events. The guide also misstated dates that were visible on a sign at the beginning of the tour which did not inspire confidence. We left 50 minutes into the experience.
