What to expect
Salem Historical Tours & Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour
Meet your professional and entertaining guide, who will light the way for your hauntingly historic walking tour of Salem. Follow them into the night to begin your 1.5-hour walking tour. With the light from the lantern, make your way through Salem's streets. Through your guide's storytelling, dark humor, and captivating tales, learn about the paranormal activity in this infamous town. You will visit as many of these locations as time allows, hearing stories of Visit documented hauntings, accidental death and murder.
Ropes Mansion and Garden
Enter the backyard of the Ropes Mansion that is replete with paranormal activity and includes stories of several people who died in the house. There have been many sightings in the colonial revival garden so take many pictures and maybe you catch an anomaly.
Old Burying Point Cemetery
You will get to see the oldest cemetery in Salem which is one of the oldest in the country. You will hear tales of paranormal activity in the cemetery and the buildings around it. Many anomalies have been seen in our cemetery.
John Ward House
The John Ward house is where accused witches were examined in 1692 when the home was across the street from the jail. It has since been relocated to the grounds of the Peabody Essex Museum, but the activity is still there.
The Witch House at Salem
The Witch House is the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, who was one of the key judges during the 1692 Witchcraft Trials. There is a lot of paranormal activity there that has been captured by our guests. Eight of Corwin's children died in the home and the employees who run the home constantly report weird happenings in the home.
Rockafellas Restaurant
Enter the alleyway behind the restaurant and hear about an incredible murder that happened in the 1830s involving a love triangle between a sea captain, sailor and indentured servant. Sightings of the servant, aka Blue Lady, continue to be seen today by guests of the restaurant and the waitstaff.
The Merchant
The Merchant Hotel stands on the grounds of where the home of 1692 Witchcraft Trials sheriff George Corwin lived. There are stories that Corwin tortured people in the basement. He died in the home from a heart attack or brain aneurysm. Various reports have surfaced over the years of strange occurrences at the brick structure. Let our guide regale you with them and explain the reason why this may be happening. (we do not go in this house).
Gardner Pingree House
The Gardner Pingree House was built in 1804 and had a sensational murder there in 1830 involving a complicated conspiracy to get the money of Captain Joseph White. The plan unravelled as the co-conspirators turned on each other resulting in a suicide and the execution of two men.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.

Traffic and parking can be very difficult and October is much worse with "LA Level" traffic. Give yourself extra time to get here and park no matter what your GPS is telling you. Check our website for details on where to park and options to get here..

Our public walking tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility and accessibility concerns. Tours are 90 minutes long and about one mile in length. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour within 90 minutes, providing for frequent stops to view sites and for information from the tour guide. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones, and stairs. During events and festivals (and particularly October), with crowds and street vendors, the streets can become difficult to navigate.
