Dark History of Salem Walking Tour

There is so much more complex darkness to the Witch City than the 1692 witch trials. There is murder for money, murder for love, betrayal, pirates, torture, and of course, spiders (because why not?).

​

Murder, money, betrayal, and more

Did you know Salem was once the richest city in America, boasting not only a prosperous sea trade, but the country's first millionaire as well? With all the wealth flowing into Salem, it's no surprise that there was betrayal and murder, because what is human nature without a bit of death?

Stories of the strange and unusual

Don't worry though, our Dark History of Salem walking tour isn't all about death. Sometimes it's about how lightning can strike twice, or psychics, and even a love story spanning the centuries. Because at the end of the day, whether you believe in the paranormal or not, whether a building is haunted or not, there's no arguing that the strange and unusual is oftentimes much more usual than we care to admit.
