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!

Turner’s Seafood at Lyceum Hall

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.

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.
