Discover Salem's haunted history with this guided walking tour featuring haunted buildings, paranormal objects, and chilling ghost stories—perfect for thrill-seekers.
When it comes to exploring Salem, most visitors are familiar with the witch trials and historic landmarks, but for those craving something a little more spooky and spine-tingling, the Vampire Ghost Adventures Walking Tour offers a genuinely different experience. This tour isn’t just about wandering past historic sites; it’s about stepping inside a haunted building, seeing haunted objects, and hearing stories that will make your hair stand on end.
What we love about this experience is its blend of authentic ghost stories and real paranormal sights — you get a chance to see and hear things that ordinary tours don’t offer. Plus, the guide’s knowledge shines through as they share local tales, making the tour as educational as it is eerie. On the downside, the tour does involve a fair amount of walking and some attractions may be of limited accessibility, especially when entering haunted buildings. It’s best suited for adventurers who love a good ghost story and aren’t squeamish about the supernatural.
This tour is particularly a hit with paranormal enthusiasts, families with older kids, and anyone who wants a more immersive Salem experience. If you’re after a straightforward history lesson, this might not be your best bet. But if you’re eager to explore Salem’s haunted side and see some spooky objects firsthand, you’ll find it well worth the price.
Unlike most Salem walking tours that stick to the usual witch trial sites, this tour takes you inside a genuine haunted building — the Chambers of Terror — where you get to see haunted objects and hear their eerie stories. It’s a rare chance to go beyond the exterior and step into a haunted space, which adds a real thrill for those interested in the paranormal.
Adding to its appeal, the tour takes place around Salem’s streets and landmarks that other tours skip, such as Witch Mansion, the Joshua Ward House, and Rockafellas Restaurant — each with its own ghostly tales. The guide’s commentary is often highlighted as knowledgeable and engaging, which makes the experience both fun and informative, as one reviewer pointed out: “Our guide was very knowledgeable and he was very informative.”
If you enjoy exploring Salem on foot, these walking tours might also suit your style
The tour is organized into stops that weave together history, ghost stories, and paranormal sights. Here’s a detailed look at what you’ll experience:
The grand finale of the tour, visitors are allowed into a real haunted building, where they can see haunted objects and listen to their chilling stories. This part is especially memorable because it combines visual proof of paranormal activity with storytelling, making it more tangible than just hearing ghost tales. The admission is included, ensuring you won’t need to scramble for tickets.
While this is a quick stop and free of charge, it’s the only point where you get a brief glimpse of Salem’s literary history while maintaining the spooky vibe. The guide will share ghostly secrets related to Salem that you won’t hear on other tours, making it a unique perspective.
From the Hawthorne Hotel with its ghostly rooms, to the Gardner Pingree House infamous for Salem’s most famous murder, each location offers its own ghost story or paranormal report.
Some highlights include:
– The Witch Mansion with moving and removed objects, and electrical interference
– The Professor Spindlewink’s Wizardry basement with tools that move on their own
– The Rockafellas Restaurant, home to the Lady in Blue and Man in Black spirits
– The Old Town Hall where a teenage ghost and poltergeists have been reported during events
– The COVEN Boutique with its helpful ghost
Many of these stops only take a few minutes but are packed with tales and sightings that will make you wonder if Salem’s spirits are truly alive.
This includes the Pyramid Books, where the spirit of Edmund still “wanders,” and Bunghole Liquors, a former funeral parlor turned bar with a ghost cat! The Old Burying Point Cemetery is also visited, where you may encounter Lady Ghosts and child spirits.
Expect a mix of history, mystery, and spontaneous paranormal activity. The guide’s storytelling style is often described as fun and engaging, making it easy to relax and enjoy the chilling tales. Many reviewers mention that the stories are well-researched, and the atmosphere created by the guide is genuinely spooky, especially in the evening.
You’ll see objects said to be haunted, like old books, artifacts, and furniture, and hear eyewitness accounts that make the stories come alive. In some cases, objects have been known to move or interfere with technology, which adds a layer of authenticity to the tales.
With a maximum of 42 travelers, the tour maintains a personal feel without feeling crowded. The small group size allows for questions and interactions, making it more than just a passive walk. It’s ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
The tour lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which is a good length — enough time to see multiple sites without feeling rushed. The pace is relaxed, allowing you to absorb the stories and enjoy the atmosphere.
At $32 per person, the tour offers excellent value considering it includes entry to a haunted building and access to haunted objects. You’re paying for a guided experience that combines walking, storytelling, and hands-on encounters with paranormal artifacts.
