What's On My Ghost Tour
The Salem Witch house
The only structure still standing in Salem from the time of the trials. This imposing black house was home to Judge Jonathon Corwin, one of the men who presided over the witchcraft trials.
Wicked Good books
A quirky and wonderful bookshop, recently changed from a labyrinthine antiquarian store to a solid community book store, with late-night readings, books clubs and community events. We tell the tale of what happened in the basement.
Ropes Mansion
You might recognize this house from a certain Disney kids movie, we’ll tell you about its history involving Judge Ropes, and the tragic story of his daughters death, Abigale. Her fiery haunting caught some contractors working on the house off guard. She haunts the house in the winter months mostly. But can be seen wandering the halls of this house that is now a museum.
