About this activity

Walk Salem’s dark past under moonlit streets and learn true stories of witch trials, haunted houses, and restless spirits. A clear, friendly voice leads you through historic places and shares tales that send chills.

You start when you want. Pause to read old inscriptions, stand before haunted buildings, or peer down alleys where shadows linger. Visit The Witch House, the Old Burying Point Cemetery, The Custom House, and hidden corners locals whisper about. The guide also shows you secret paths others rarely walk.

The tour works without internet. It gives you walking directions, spooky facts, and tips you’ll use again. The audio stays on your phone forever.

Download the tour, put on your shoes, and explore Salem’s haunted history—step by step, story by story, at your own pace.
