    6. John Ward House

      Joshua Ward House (Salem, Massachusetts)The Joshua Ward House is a three-story Federal-style brick mansion built between 1784 and 1787 for successful Salem merchant and distiller Joshua Ward. The house stands on the former site of the home of Sheriff George Corwin, the high sheriff during the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. Corwin was responsible for arresting accused witches and overseeing executions (including the pressing death of Giles Corey). Local legend claims Corwin was temporarily buried in the basement of his house due to threats from the families of the accused. Today it operates as a boutique hotel called The Merchant. Because of its connection to Sheriff Corwin and the witch trials, it has a strong reputation as one of Salem’s most haunted buildings, with numerous reports of paranormal activity.

    A spir-tacular history tour / Ghost of the past with Jamle / Jamie's Spirits and Shadows Tour.

    The Haunted History tour was great. Our guide Jamie was very knowledgeable and walk us all around town. The ghost tool was really cool. I had a lot of verification from EMF on my phone.

    Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salem.

    How much does Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salem is not rushed.

    Is Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salem and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Salem?

    +

    Salem runs witch trial history tours, ghost and cemetery walks, museum entries and harbour trips, with October turning the whole town into a month-long event. On Outty we rank every Salem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Satanic Salem Walking Tour, Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour, Bewitched Walking Tour of Salem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Salem?

    +

    September to October for atmosphere, May to June for smaller crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Salem?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Haunted Salem Tour with free Ghost Hunting Tools?

    +

    Included: Free Ghost hunting App (with EMF Detection, EVP, Night Vision, and Infrared.). Not included: Tips and gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
