Haunted Footsteps Best Ghost & Paranormal Salem Tour

Salem has worked its way into the supernatural record as centuries of macabre history and unexplained events have unfolded here. Not all of them are just legends. You will be surprised at the quality of documented paranormal research and authentic chilling tales that have come to define Salem’s reputation. Ghost hunters love our colonial architecture, dimly lit alleyways, and historic cemeteries. You'll hear some first-hand accounts of weird phenomena, bizarre occurrences experienced by residents and exclusive information of local hauntings researched by investigators. And you will be led by a professional guide who brings the city’s most active spirits to life under the glow of a lantern. (This tour does NOT discuss the 1692 Witchcraft Trials; take our Best Salem Witch Trials Historical Walking Tour).
