Giles Corey was pressed here! This is believed to be the location where accused witch Giles Corey was pressed to death after he refused to confess. Probably the most gruesome story on the tour!

8 minutes here
A quick stop a haunted church graveyard with ties to the Witch Trials! Great photo opportunity with beautiful antique gravestones.
5 minutes here
The location of the dungeon where the accused witches were held and tortured as they awaited trial and execution! Here you learn the history of the Witch Trials, the fanatical Puritans, and my favorite Witch Trials character, Tituba, the innocent enslaved woman who might have been a clandestine practitioner of Voodoo! Quite possibly the most active haunted site in Salem. Make sure to take lots of photographs here!
10 minutes here
Bridget Bishop's land. You will recognize this stop if you ever watch the ghost hunter shows. Relentlessly haunted by the restless spirit of one of the most ornery Witch Trials victims. Strangely enough this is also where Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his telephone for the first time before a mass audience. People have reported weird physical manifestations of ghostly energy and taken some amazing pictures here.
8 minutes here
A great chance to snap a picture of location from the classic Hocus Pocus movie! This is where the big "I Put A Spell On You" ball was filmed!
5 minutes here
Vampires! My favorite part of the tour, here is where we delve into vampire legends and folklore as well as the strange truth about modern day true life blood drinkers! These stories get bloody.

Dating to 1636 one of the oldest cemeteries in the United States. Resting place of Witch Trial judges and townsfolk who lived through the terrible ordeal. Tremendously haunted.

Best Sp👀ky tour EVER!!!!
Mike was the BEST tour guide that I’ve ever had and this was my favorite tour by far. He’s an AMAZING story teller. We learned so much about the history and hauntings of Salem. I will definitely be back. If you are looking for a tour, this is the one to take.

One of the best...
One of the best experiences in Salem! The storytelling is top notch. We were very glad to have booked the tour.

Perfect tour at night
We had a great time learning history, stories and maybe a ghostly visit. Dr. Vitka is a fantastic guide and a hour and half was not enough time. He left us wanting to come back again. Bonus, I’m pretty sure I caught a little something in one of my pictures.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salem.
How much does Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $28 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 Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour 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 Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 2,021 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Salem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Salem Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour?
+
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 Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour 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 Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 707 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 Voodoo, Vampires, and Ghosts Guided Walking Tour 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 History and Hauntings of Salem Guided Walking Tour, Satanic Salem 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.
