Elaine did a wonderful job retelling the history and hauntings that occurred at each site location. She made it fun and entertaining and was very informative. I learned things I had never heard of before which is shocking for me as I’m a ghost story and haunting enthusiast. Loved it!

Mr Carrigan was a great tour guide. He had great energy and a fun personality. Loved the night walking tour and learned a lot of cool things about the Salem area.

We were a party of six. I found excellent reviews for this tour and booked it. Our guide was knowledgeable, and she gave a thorough tour beginning at 6 pm on May 7th. Over the next few days, we vistied some of the locations and the stories she told us. Wonderful.
