Where the History and Hauntings Guided Walking Tour Meets
meet at
Named on the booking confirmation
The listing does not fix one address for this walk: the meeting point depends on the option booked, and the confirmation names it. Check it the day before, and arrive a few minutes early in October, when several tours share the same corners.
From the commuter rail station it is a short walk. If driving, use a downtown garage and leave the car; the closest streets close on peak weekends. The listing says nothing about restrooms, so use the ones at the station or a cafe before the start.

“Very informative and entertaining tour. Topher did a wonderful job and I loved getting the history of Salem beyond what I already knew.”
Mae, 6 October 2025
“Our guide was awesome! Very good at explaining the history of Salem, the people and the witch trials. I was hoping for more haunting stories but we only had two hours.”
Kimberly, 8 October 2025
“Sean was a wonderful tour guide, historian, and story teller! He told us about the story of the Witch Trials of course but we learned a lot about Salem itself, too. A fantastic tour!”

Is this walk worth booking?+
Our view, not the listing’s: Our pick. The most-reviewed ghost walk in Salem and the best rated of them, with the stories and the 1692 record in one walk. Downside: it covers more ground than the rest, so for a short first evening take the Salem Night Tour instead.
