Salem’s rich history and the fact that many of its oldest structures and most notorious sites are well preserved today give it a truly eerie feeling. Even the first president of the United States, George Washington, experienced a haunting during his visit to Salem in 1789 and fled the town immediately.
Salem Ghosts takes you to all of the historic town’s most haunted sites and reveals their true stories so that you can feel connected to the history that took place there. If you feel a chill on your tour, know that it could be more than just the coastal breeze.
The Salem Witch House
The Witch House was originally not for housing a witch. Instead, it was home to Jonathon Corwin, the judge in the witch trials who sentenced innocents to death. Corwin believed in the other side himself and let the townspeople know he would not accept dealings with the devil. But now, locals say his guilt overcomes him in the night, and you can hear his wails emanating from the old 17th-century building.
Ropes Mansion
Does this mansion look a little familiar? Well, it was once in the movie Hocus Pocus. It looks like Hollywood knows a haunted house when it sees one. This old home, built in 1720, has passed hands several times. The original owner had three wives die within its walls. The next owner, Nathaniel Ropes, was a loyalist during the Revolution. His politics had the house attacked and stoned. Ropes unexpectedly died the day after the stoning. Now, his ire lives on in the house, frightening visitors to this day.
Salem Athenaeum
This library has been continuously operating ever since it was founded in 1810. The free exchange of knowledge is a founding principle of this nation. But the living are not the only curious souls who visit. Books reportedly fly off the shelves who just want to read, but you can determine that for yourself.

Although they did not engage in the war directly, they played a great part in diminishing the supply lines of the British.
