Good times, good stories. Great way to see the city and enjoy a couple drinks. Would recommend.
Remain calm.
The ghosts of Witches tend to be all bark and no bite, poltergeists however…
Be polite.
Avoid the ire of the spirits and behave like you are visiting your strict Aunt's house.
Do not provoke the spirits.
Ghosts are just trying to rest in peace, let’s not give them another reason to stay in limbo.
Stay together.

Salem’s haunted reputation is deeply tied to the tragic events of the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, where hysteria led to the execution of 20 innocent people and the imprisonment of many more. The lingering guilt and sorrow from these wrongful deaths have left a permanent mark on the town, with spirits said to still roam its streets. Beyond the witch trials, Salem’s long history of colonial strife, shipwrecks, and mysterious deaths have contributed to its haunted legacy. These tragic and violent events have turned Salem into one of the most paranormal active places in America, where the past refuses to stay buried.
