Night Watchman Tours: Halloween 2024

Join Old Salem’s night watchmen on their lantern-lit nightly rounds as we investigate
true stories from the records of spirits and fires – of ruffians and corpses.

Experience the original buildings where these mysteries and tragedies took place, and step into a time of instability and many unknowns.

Learn about Salem’s most famous ghost, as well as stories you’ve never heard before. Our lantern-guided tour will examine true incidents of suspense, mystery, and horror from the records of Salem’s history as experienced through the lens of the night watchman.

How did the early settlers of Salem deal with the dark dangers and unsettling suspense of their time, and how did they try to understand the supernatural phenomena that haunted their nights?
