    Paranormal Ghost Investigation

    The tour was advertised as a paranormal investigation, but was instead a typical ghost tour. Listening to the guide tells stories. The only thing that made it similar to a paranormal investigation was carrying a ghost box, but if you are unable to go into any of the sights you can't call it an investigation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that **Salem’s Paranormal Tour and our Paranormal Investigations are two separate experiences.** You booked our walking tour, which combines Salem’s haunted history, firsthand experiences from our actual paranormal investigations, and the opportunity to use real paranormal investigation equipment along the way. Our paranormal investigations are a completely different experience, where guests have the opportunity to investigate inside a haunted location with our team. We take pride in being actual paranormal investigators who share our own experiences and evidence rather than simply repeating traditional ghost stories. We understand that you were hoping for a different experience, but we feel it’s important to clarify the distinction between the two offerings for future guests. Thank you again for joining Wicked Ghost Hunters

    Ghost Tour

    The Tour was great! It would of been nice if we could of went into the Buildings though! Also it would of been nice for the Tour Guide to carry more Ghost Tools with him! And if I did it again I would choose nighttime instead of during the day! But overall it was good be prepared to walk alot on this tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining Wicked Ghost Hunters! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your experience! We completely understand wanting to explore inside some of Salem’s haunted buildings. That’s actually something we offer through our separate paranormal investigations! As for the equipment, we bring a selection of tools for guests to experience during the walking tour, while our investigations involve a much larger variety of equipment. And you’re absolutely right, Salem takes on a whole different feeling after dark! We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you’ll come back to experience the spooky side of Salem at night! 👻

    Best Ghost Tourin Salem!

    Me and my friends had SO much fun! I loved how different this tour was from the other tours in Salem. Instead of just hearing the usual ghost stories, we got to hear REAL paranormal experiences from REAL paranormal investigators, which made it so much more interesting! Even though you don’t go inside any buildings, they give you EMF readers to use while you walk around, which was AWESOME. We even got to see ours go off at the cemetery! 👻 It was such a fun change from the typical history/ghost story tours you usually see around Salem. If you’re looking for something a little different and more interactive, I would HIGHLY recommend Wicked Ghost Hunters!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re really glad you and your friends had such a great time with us. We wanted Wicked Ghost Hunters to be different from the typical Salem ghost tour by sharing our own real paranormal investigations and giving our guests a chance to use some of the same equipment we use. Hearing that your EMF reader went off at the cemetery makes it even better! 👻 Thank you for giving us a chance and for recommending us. We really appreciate the support, and we hope to see you all again for another paranormal adventure

    Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours 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 Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 61 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 Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours?

    +

    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 Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours?

    +

    Around 21 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours 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 Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours?

    +

    Included: paranormal investigator tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours?

    +

    Please meet inside the mall at wicked ghost hunter's kiosk 10-15 min before tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Salem Paranormal Ghost Tours if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Salem. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
