About Witch City Walking Tours

When all was said and done, the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials resulted in the execution of 20 people—primarily women—accused of witchcraft. On Witch City Walking Tours' 60-minute Witchcraft Hysteria tour, a certified historian brings to life the true story of this dark historical chapter. Of course, plenty of spooky things have occurred in Salem since the colonial era. During the 90-minute Mysteries & Hauntings of Salem tour, attendees explore graveyards and murder sites by the glow of lantern light while learning lesser-known anecdotes of the city's haunted past. For an alternative to the macabre, check out the tour offered every weekend afternoon that focuses on the town's historical architecture, which dates as far back as the 17th century.
